decrypt stdin with passphrase in command line

[John Sheridan]

Hi Joseph, can you show me the syntax of doing this? I tried this before:

cat file.gpg | gpg --homedir $gnupg_home --passphrase-fd 0 --no-tty --decrypt 2>&- <<EOF
mypassphrase
EOF

But it probably means cat file.gpg and mypassphrase are sharing stdin, that's why it doesn't work. I don't know how to make this go in via another file descriptor.

Thanks again, Excalibur

-------------------

The --passphrase-fd lets you specify any file descriptor as the source of the passphrase. "0" is stdin. You can send the passphrase through other file descriptors if you need to use stdin for your data.
