PGPPIPE(1)

NAME
pgppipe - decrypt PGP messages

SYNOPSIS
pgppipe

DESCRIPTION
The pgppipe programme will decrypt ASCII armour PGP messages, without the need for a passphrase. It uses PGPdaemon to actually perform the decryption. pgppipe is simply a front-end to PGPdaemon. PGPdaemon is part of the PGPsendmail/Unix Suite. pgppipe will read the standard input for the encrypted message and will write the decrypted message to the standard output. pgppipe is able to cope with multiple encrypted messages within the input.

BUGS
pgppipe does not cope with improperly terminated PGP message blocks. Any data after an unterminated message block is lost.
