I'm having slight trouble decrypting the man pages, but the intended functionality is met with the --passphrase-fd <file descriptor number> option. You can then set "echo my_passphrase | gpg --p..." in your shell script or whatever it is. (Be advised that this option is depracated, i.e. most security people are bothered by the idea of programs lying around that will let anyone with your priveleges decrypt your private information.)
