=head1 DESCRIPTION
GnuPG::Interface and its associated modules are designed to
provide an object-oriented method for interacting with GnuPG,
being able to perform functions such as but not limited
to encrypting, signing,
decryption, verification, and key-listing parsing.
=head2 How Data Member Accessor Methods are Created
Each module in the GnuPG::Interface bundle relies
on Moo to generate the get/set methods
used to set the object's data members.
I<This is very important to realize.> This means that
any data member which is a list has special
methods assigned to it for pushing, popping, and
clearing the list.
=head2 Understanding Bidirectional Communication
It is also imperative to realize that this package
uses interprocess communication methods similar to
those used in L<IPC::Open3>
and L<perlipc/"Bidirectional Communication with Another Process">,
and that users of this package
need to understand how to use this method because this package
does not abstract these methods for the user greatly.
This package is not designed
to abstract this away entirely (partly for security purposes), but rather
to simply help create 'proper', clean calls to GnuPG, and to implement
key-listing parsing.
Please see L<perlipc/"Bidirectional Communication with Another Process">
to learn how to deal with these methods.
Using this package to do message processing generally
invovlves creating a GnuPG::Interface object, creating
a GnuPG::Handles object,
setting some options in its B<options> data member,
and then calling a method which invokes GnuPG, such as
B<clearsign>. One then interacts with with the handles
appropriately, as described in
L<perlipc/"Bidirectional Communication with Another Process">.

=item send_keys( % )
=item search_keys( % )
These methods each correspond directly to or are very similar
to a GnuPG command described in L<gpg>. Each of these methods
takes a hash, which currently must contain a key of B<handles>
which has the value of a GnuPG::Handles object.
Another optional key is B<command_args> which should have the value of an
array reference; these arguments will be passed to GnuPG as command arguments.
These command arguments are used for such things as determining the keys to
list in the B<export_keys> method. I<Please note that GnuPG command arguments
are not the same as GnuPG options>. To understand what are options and
what are command arguments please read L<gpg/"COMMANDS"> and L<gpg/"OPTIONS">.
Each of these calls returns the PID for the resulting GnuPG process.
One can use this PID in a C<waitpid> call instead of a C<wait> call
if more precise process reaping is needed.
These methods will attach the handles specified in the B<handles> object
to the running GnuPG object, so that bidirectional communication
can be established. That is, the optionally-defined B<stdin>,
B<stdout>, B<stderr>, B<status>, B<logger>, and
B<passphrase> handles will be attached to
GnuPG's input, output, standard error,
the handle created by setting B<status-fd>, the handle created by setting B<logger-fd>, and the handle created by setting
B<passphrase-fd> respectively.
This tying of handles of similar to the process
done in I<IPC::Open3>.
If you want the GnuPG process to read or write directly to an already-opened
filehandle, you cannot do this via the normal I<IPC::Open3> mechanisms.
In order to accomplish this, set the appropriate B<handles> data member
to the already-opened filehandle, and then set the option B<direct> to be true
for that handle, as described in L<GnuPG::Handles/options>. For example,
to have GnuPG read from the file F<input.txt> and write to F<output.txt>,
the following snippet may do:
my $infile = IO::File->new( 'input.txt' );
my $outfile = IO::File->new( '>output.txt' );
my $handles = GnuPG::Handles->new( stdin => $infile,
stdout => $outfile,
);
$handles->options( 'stdin' )->{direct} = 1;
$handles->options( 'stdout' )->{direct} = 1;
If any handle in the B<handles> object is not defined, GnuPG's input, output,
and standard error will be tied to the running program's standard error,
standard output, or standard error. If the B<status> or B<logger> handle
is not defined, this channel of communication is never established with GnuPG,
and so this information is not generated and does not come into play.
If the B<passphrase> data member handle of the B<handles> object
is not defined, but the the B<passphrase> data member handle of GnuPG::Interface
object is, GnuPG::Interface will handle passing this information into GnuPG
for the user as a convenience. Note that this will result in
GnuPG::Interface storing the passphrase in memory, instead of having
it simply 'pass-through' to GnuPG via a handle.
If neither the B<passphrase> data member of the GnuPG::Interface nor
the B<passphrase> data member of the B<handles> object is defined,
then GnuPG::Interface assumes that access and control over the secret
key will be handled by the running gpg-agent process. This represents
the simplest mode of operation with the GnuPG "modern" suite (version
2.1 and later). It is also the preferred mode for tools intended to
be user-facing, since the user will be prompted directly by gpg-agent
for use of the secret key material. Note that for programmatic use,
this mode requires the gpg-agent and pinentry to already be correctly
configured.

=head2 Other Methods
=over 4
=item get_public_keys( @search_strings )
=item get_secret_keys( @search_strings )
=item get_public_keys_with_sigs( @search_strings )
These methods create and return objects of the type GnuPG::PublicKey
or GnuPG::SecretKey respectively. This is done by parsing the output
of GnuPG with the option B<with-colons> enabled. The objects created
do or do not have signature information stored in them, depending
if the method ends in I<_sigs>; this separation of functionality is there
because of performance hits when listing information with signatures.
=item test_default_key_passphrase()
This method will return a true or false value, depending
on whether GnuPG reports a good passphrase was entered
while signing a short message using the values of
the B<passphrase> data member, and the default
key specified in the B<options> data member.
=item version()
Returns the version of GnuPG that GnuPG::Interface is running.
=back
=head1 Invoking GnuPG with a custom call
GnuPG::Interface attempts to cover a lot of the commands
of GnuPG that one would want to perform; however, there may be a lot
more calls that GnuPG is and will be capable of, so a generic command
interface is provided, C<wrap_call>.
=over 4
=item wrap_call( %args )
Call GnuPG with a custom command. The %args hash must contain
at least the following keys:
=over 4
=item commands
The value of this key in the hash must be a reference to a a list of
commands for GnuPG, such as C<[ qw( --encrypt --sign ) ]>.
=item handles
As with most other GnuPG::Interface methods, B<handles>
must be a GnuPG::Handles object.
=back
The following keys are optional.
=over 4
=item command_args
As with other GnuPG::Interface methods, the value in hash
for this key must be a reference to a list of arguments
to be passed to the GnuPG command, such as which
keys to list in a key-listing.
=back
=back
=head1 OBJECT DATA MEMBERS
=over 4
=item call
This defines the call made to invoke GnuPG. Defaults to 'gpg'; this
should be changed if 'gpg' is not in your path, or there is a different
name for the binary on your system.
=item passphrase
In order to lessen the burden of using handles by the user of this package,
setting this option to one's passphrase for a secret key will allow
the package to enter the passphrase via a handle to GnuPG by itself
instead of leaving this to the user. See also L<GnuPG::Handles/passphrase>.
=item options
This data member, of the type GnuPG::Options; the setting stored in this
data member are used to determine the options used when calling GnuPG
via I<any> of the object methods described in this package.
See L<GnuPG::Options> for more information.

=head1 FAQ
=over 4
=item How do I get GnuPG::Interface to read/write directly from
a filehandle?
You need to set GnuPG::Handles B<direct> option to be true for the
filehandles in concern. See L<GnuPG::Handles/options> and
L<"Object Methods which use a GnuPG::Handles Object"> for more
information.
=item Why do you make it so difficult to get GnuPG to write/read
from a filehandle? In the shell, I can just call GnuPG
with the --outfile option!
There are lots of issues when trying to tell GnuPG to read/write
directly from a file, such as if the file isn't there, or
there is a file, and you want to write over it! What do you
want to happen then? Having the user of this module handle
these questions beforehand by opening up filehandles to GnuPG
lets the user know fully what is going to happen in these circumstances,
and makes the module less error-prone.
=item When having GnuPG process a large message, sometimes it just
hanges there.
Your problem may be due to buffering issues; when GnuPG reads/writes
to B<non-direct> filehandles (those that are sent to filehandles
which you read to from into memory, not that those access the disk),
buffering issues can mess things up. I recommend looking into
L<GnuPG::Handles/options>.
=back
=head1 NOTES
This package is the successor to PGP::GPG::MessageProcessor,
which I found to be too inextensible to carry on further.
A total redesign was needed, and this is the resulting
work.
After any call to a GnuPG-command method of GnuPG::Interface
in which one passes in the handles,
one should all B<wait> to clean up GnuPG from the process table.
=head1 BUGS
Currently there are problems when transmitting large quantities
of information over handles; I'm guessing this is due
to buffering issues. This bug does not seem specific to this package;
IPC::Open3 also appears affected.
I don't know yet how well this modules handles parsing OpenPGP v3 keys.
