# DESCRIPTION

The `netpgp` Lua binding provides access to functionality available in libnetpgp(3).

# EXAMPLES

The following example code demonstrates the process of encrypting, decrypting, signing, and verifying a file, in a single script.

    local netpgp = require 'netpgp'
    btc = netpgp.new()
    netpgp.setvar(btc, "need seckey", 1)
    netpgp.init(btc)

    netpgp.encrypt_file(btc, "scratch", "scratch.gpg", "armoured")
    netpgp.decrypt_file(btc, "scratch.gpg", "itch", "armoured")
    netpgp.sign_file(btc, "scratch", "scratch.asc", "armoured", "detached")
    netpgp.verify_file(btc, "scratch.asc", "armoured")
