gnupg: Programmatic use of GnuPG

 
 4.5.1 Programmatic use of GnuPG
 -------------------------------
 
 Please consider using GPGME instead of calling 'gpg' directly.  GPGME
 offers a stable, backend-independent interface for many cryptographic
 operations.  It supports OpenPGP and S/MIME, and also allows interaction
 with various GnuPG components.
 
    GPGME provides a C-API, and comes with bindings for C++, Qt, and
 Python.  Bindings for other languages are available.
