The only way to programmatically interact with GnuPG is through spawning the CLI. Not good.

  What's wrong with gpgme?

    It's thousands of lines of C code that just wraps an actual execution of the `gpg` binary?

      That sounds like a lot of pointless work. I had a quick look and could not find anything about that. Do you have a reference?

        You could start by, you know, Googling the source code for GPGME. Or, for that matter, reading the GPGME documentation. This isn't an eldritch secret of how GPGME works.
