  err = GPGME::gpgme_engine_check_version(proto)
  exc = GPGME::error_to_exception(err)
  !exc
end

.home_dir=(home_dir) ⇒ Object

Sets the home dir for the configuration options. This way one could, for example, load the keys from a customized keychain.

def home_dir=(home_dir)
  current = info.first
  set_info current.protocol, current.file_name, home_dir
end

.info ⇒ Object

Return an array of GPGME::EngineInfo structures of enabled engines.

Examples:

GPGME::Engine.info.first
# => #<GPGME::EngineInfo:0x00000100d4fbd8
       @file_name="/usr/local/bin/gpg",
       @protocol=0,
       @req_version="1.3.0",

  GPGME::gpgme_get_engine_info(rinfo)
  rinfo
end

.set_info(proto, file_name, home_dir) ⇒ Object

Change the default configuration of the crypto engine implementing protocol proto.

Examples:

GPGME::Engine.set

Parameters:

  • proto —
