decrypt multiple files to stdout

[Nicolas Rachinsky]

Hallo,

how can I decrypt multiple files to stdout? I have two (or more)
files, a.gpg and b.gpg, and want the equivalent of "gpg a.gpg; gpg
b.gpg; cat a b" without the intermediate files.

"gpg --multifile --decrypt a.gpg b.gpg" does not work. The behaviour
seems to differ from the manual.

| nicolas at pc5 ~/rd> gpg --multifile --decrypt a.gpg b.gpg

| File `a' exists. Overwrite? (y/N) 


|       --decrypt [file]
|                 Decrypt  file (or stdin if no file is specified) and write it
|                 to stdout (or the  file  specified  with  --output).  If  the
|                 decrypted  file  is  signed,  the signature is also verified.
|                 This command differs from the default operation, as it  never
|                 writes  to  the filename which is included in the file and it
|                 rejects files which don't begin with an encrypted message.

And if there is no 'a' and no 'b', they are created.


--output seems to be incompatible with --multifile.
