gpg-connect-agent querying max-cache-ttl

[Rob Fries]

After some off list communication, I wanted to circle back here with my findings.

To recap, and perhaps more clearly:

I am attempting to query from gpg-agent the time remaining before a passphrase expires for a key due to the max-cache-ttl setting.  I believe the proper way to do this would be through gpg-connect-agent.


I found the gpg-agent Assuan protocol here:

There appears to be no way to get the remaining time for before a passphrase expires at this time.
