NAME

       gpgme-tool - Assuan server exposing GnuPG Made Easy operations

SYNOPSIS

       gpgme-tool  [--server|-s]  [--gpgme-binary=FILE]  [--lib-version] [--usage] [--version|-V]
       [--help|-?]

DESCRIPTION

       gpgme-tool is a test interface that can exercise the library functionality of GPGME. It is
       not  currently  intended  for  production  use,  but it can be a useful way to dynamically
       understand and experiment with the functionality available from the library.

       Running this tool in Server mode (the default mode)  results  in  a  text-based,  command-
       driven  session.  When the tool produces (on its standard output) a line beginning with OK
       or ERR, you can provide it with a command on its standard input.  Try the command HELP  to
       see a list of available commands.  Commands are case-insensitive.

       Status lines begin with an S, and data lines begin with a D.

       gpgme-tool accepts the following options on the command line:
