I don't think it's helpful and there's no such command line interface.
When a file were corrupted in such a way, blocks (of encrypted
content) were gone somewhere in the filesystem (not within a file).

You can examine the content of file by gpg --list-packets, or you can
see it by the command hd (or od), but I think that all you will get
is the wrong information when it's corrupted.

For applications (like gnupg), there is no way to recover such a
corrupted files.

Please fix your file system, by a tool like fsck, or debugfs.
