A couple of points:
+ I've checked the docs (as much as there is), but there seems to be
no explanation on why a simple
gpg
`hangs'. It seems it wants some input (^D terminates). Why does
it do that? Why not just give some short help (less than a
typical screenful), and terminate?
+ Couldn't some of the commands/options be a little shorter? Why is
--list-ownertrust not simply --list-trust?
+ Where's the argument parsing coming from?[1] Standard GNU
getopt-long does not need the full option, just enough so it is
uniquely identified. Whereas the current parser needs the *full*
option (--list-secret-keys is nice and long, --list-sec would be
much nicer to type).
Anyway, thanks for listening,
Bye, J
[1] arparse.c mentions WkLib... I didn't check whether WkLib is
mentioned anywhere else in the sources, but I'm sure I haven't seen it
before. What *Wk*Lib stands for is anyone's guess ;-)
