NAME
GnuPG::Handles - GnuPG handles bundle SYNOPSIS
use IO::Handle; my ( $stdin, $stdout, $stderr, $status_fh, $logger_fh, $passphrase_fh, ) = ( IO::Handle->new(), IO::Handle->new(), IO::Handle->new(), IO::Handle->new(), IO::Handle->new(), IO::Handle->new(), ); my $handles = GnuPG::Handles->new ( stdin => $stdin, stdout => $stdout, stderr => $stderr, status => $status_fh, logger => $logger_fh, passphrase => $passphrase_fh, ); DESCRIPTION
GnuPG::Handles objects are generally instantiated to be used in conjunction with methods of objects of the class GnuPG::Interface. GnuPG::Handles objects represent a collection of handles that are used to communicate with GnuPG. OBJECT METHODS
Initialization Methods new( %initialization_args ) This methods creates a new object. The optional arguments are initialization of data members. hash_init( %args ). OBJECT DATA MEMBERS
stdin This handle is connected to the standard input of a GnuPG process. stdout This handle is connected to the standard output of a GnuPG process. stderr This handle is connected to the standard error of a GnuPG process. status This handle is connected to the status output handle of a GnuPG process. logger This handle is connected to the logger output handle of a GnuPG process. passphrase This handle is connected to the passphrase input handle of a GnuPG process. command This handle is connected to the command input handle of a GnuPG process. options This is a hash of hashrefs of settings pertaining to the handles in this object. The outer-level hash is keyed by the names of the handle the setting is for, while the inner is keyed by the setting being referenced. For example, to set the setting "direct" to true for the filehandle "stdin", the following code will do: # assuming $handles is an already-created # GnuPG::Handles object, this sets all # options for the filehandle stdin in one blow, # clearing out all others $handles->options( 'stdin', { direct => 1 } ); # this is useful to just make one change # to the set of options for a handle $handles->options( 'stdin' )->{direct} = 1; # and to get the setting... $setting = $handles->options( 'stdin' )->{direct}; # and to clear the settings for stdin $handles->options( 'stdin', {} ); The currently-used settings are as follows: direct If the setting "direct" is true for a handle, the GnuPG process spawned will access the handle directly. This is useful for having the GnuPG process read or write directly to or from an already-opened file. SEE ALSO

NAME
gpg-preset-passphrase - Put a passphrase into gpg-agent's cache SYNOPSIS
gpg-preset-passphrase [options] [command] cache-id DESCRIPTION
The gpg-preset-passphrase is a utility to seed the internal cache of a running gpg-agent with passphrases. It is mainly useful for unat- tended machines, where the usual pinentry tool may not be used and the passphrases for the to be used keys are given at machine startup. Passphrases set with this utility don't expire unless the --forget option is used to explicitly clear them from the cache --- or gpg-agent is either restarted or reloaded (by sending a SIGHUP to it). It is necessary to allow this passphrase presetting by starting gpg-agent with the --allow-preset-passphrase. gpg-preset-passphrase is invoked this way: gpg-preset-passphrase [options] [command] cacheid cacheid is either a 40 character keygrip of hexadecimal characters identifying the key for which the passphrase should be set or cleared. The keygrip is listed along with the key when running the command: gpgsm --dump-secret-keys. Alternatively an arbitrary string may be used to identify a passphrase; it is suggested that such a string is prefixed with the name of the application (e.g foo:12346). One of the following command options must be given: --preset Preset a passphrase. This is what you usually will use. gpg-preset-passphrase will then read the passphrase from stdin. --forget Flush the passphrase for the given cache ID from the cache. The following additional options may be used: -v --verbose Output additional information while running. -P string --passphrase string Instead of reading the passphrase from stdin, use the supplied string as passphrase. Note that this makes the passphrase visible for other users. SEE ALSO

If GnuPG and the info program are properly installed at your site, the command info gnupg should give you access to the complete manual including a menu structure and an index.
