Sorry, I thought that was obvious. I want to check the file, in this
case the ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf file for proper syntax, etc. I am attempting
to use in in the same fashion that I use "postconf" to check Postfix's
configuration files. Many applications have utilities to check their
config files, "Dovecot", "ClamAV", etcetera. I thought that the
"gpgconf" utility would accomplish the same thing.

While the documentation does not specifically state that it DOES work
on the gpg.conf file, nothing says that it doesn't either. In my humble
opinion, the documentation is slightly ambiguous.

Sorry to have wasted your time.
