🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, gpgme-json is a JSON to GPGME bridge. that's the whole vibe. 🫶

this interface is literally how web-browser extensions get to talk to the GPGME library — through the Native Messaging facility from web-browser. no cap, that's the mechanism. the browser extension yaps, gpgme-json translates, GPGME does the thing. periodt. 💜

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

gpgme-json accepts the following options on the command line, and yes we're going through every single one because we don't skip. 😤

• -i, --interactive — turns on interactive mode ✨. and guess what? interactive mode also provides some online help, so she's self-sufficient, she's got her own little support system. obsessed.
• -s, --single — turns on single request mode. one request. that's it. that's the whole energy. 🎯
• --identify file|- — sniffs out the type of the data found in file, or from standard input if you pass -. detective behaviour fr fr. 🔍
• --debug — turns on debug mode 🐛. logs get saved to ~/.gnupg/S.gpgme-json.log.

heads up bestie: you can also turn debug mode on and specify a custom logfile using the environment variable GPGME_JSON_DEBUG. so many options, we love flexibility. 💖

• --lib-version — prints the GPGME library version. just the version. quick little flex. 📌
• -h, --help — prints a usage message summarizing the most useful command-line options. your girl is helpful like that. 🌈
