Per the other messages in this thread and the original post, I want to
query the options from the gpg-agent directly. Based on some
experimentation with the configuration files and strace, gpgconf doesn't
query the information from gpg-agent, it parses the configuration files
which is not what I need. Am I missing something? If it matters, the
version of gpgconf / GPG I'm using is 2.0.14.

Thanks,
Eric
