Class Method Details

.new(options = {}) ⇒ Object

Create a new instance from the given options. Must be released either executing the operations inside a block, or executing #release afterwards.

Examples:

ctx = GPGME::Ctx.new
# operate on ctx
ctx.release
GPGME::Ctx.new do |ctx|
  # operate on ctx
end

Parameters:

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    The optional parameters are as follows:

    • :protocol Either PROTOCOL_OpenPGP or PROTOCOL_CMS.

    • :armor will return ASCII armored outputs if specified true.

    • :textmode if true, inform the recipient that the input is text.

    • :keylist_mode One of: KEYLIST_MODE_LOCAL, KEYLIST_MODE_EXTERN, KEYLIST_MODE_SIGS or KEYLIST_MODE_VALIDATE.

    • :password password of the passphrased password being used.

    • :passphrase_callback A callback function. See #set_passphrase_callback.

    • :passphrase_callback_value An object passed to passphrase_callback.

    • :progress_callback A callback function. See #set_progress_callback.

    • :progress_callback_value An object passed to progress_callback.

#set_passphrase_callback(passfunc, hook_value = nil) ⇒ Object Also known as: set_passphrase_cb

Set the passphrase callback with given hook value. passfunc should respond to call with 5 arguments.

  • obj the parameter :passphrase_callback_value passed when creating the GPGME::Ctx object.

  • uid_hint hint as to what key are we asking the password for. Ex:

    CFB3294A50C2CFD7 Albert Llop <[email protected]>

  • passphrase_info

  • prev_was_bad 0 if it’s the first time the password is being asked, 1 otherwise.

  • fd file descriptor where the password must be written too.

Expects a Method object which can be obtained by the method method (really..).

ctx.set_passphrase_callback(MyModule.method(:passfunc))

Examples:

this method will simply return maria as password.

def pass_function(obj, uid_hint, passphrase_info, prev_was_bad, fd)
  io = ::FFI::IO.for_fd(fd, 'w')
  io.puts "maria"
  io.flush
end

this will interactively ask for the password

def passfunc(obj, uid_hint, passphrase_info, prev_was_bad, fd)
  $stderr.write("Passphrase for #{uid_hint}: ")
  $stderr.flush
  begin
    system('stty -echo')
    io = ::FFI::IO.for_fd(fd, 'w')
    io.puts(gets)
