it is just saying this to let you know that it is waiting for data on
tandard input.  Normally, you would also use an option such as --clearsign
or --encrypt or a combination of options, such as:

echo hi|gpg --ascii-armor --sign --encrypt --recipient foo@bar.com
Note that there are short versions of many of the long options:

echo hi|gpg -a -s -e -r foo@bar.com

These two examples use the standard input as the text to be signed and
encrypted.  you can also use a file, such as:

gpg -a -e -r foo@bar.com somefile.txt

which produced an encrypted file called somefile.txt.asc which is only
decipherable by the owner of the private key for foo@bar.com .  For more
information, you may want to read the GNU Privacy Handbook:
