Static methods:

• public static Error Context (out Context ctx)
  Create a new context, returns Error Status Code

Methods:

• public bool get_armor ()
• public EngineInfo* get_engine_info ()
  Get information about the configured engines. The returned data is valid until the next set_engine_info() call.
• public int get_include_certs ()
  Return the number of certs to include in an S/MIME message
• public Error get_key (string fpr, out Key key, bool secret)
  Get key with the fingerprint FPR from the crypto backend. If SECRET is true, get the secret key.
• public KeylistMode get_keylist_mode ()
• public void get_passphrase_cb (out passphrase_callback cb, out void* hook_value)
  Get callback function and hook_value
• public Protocol get_protocol ()
• public bool get_textmode ()
• public Error op_decrypt (Data cipher, Data plain)
  Decrypt ciphertext CIPHER and store the resulting plaintext in PLAIN.
• public DecryptResult* op_decrypt_result ()
  Retrieve a pointer to the result of the decrypt operation
• public Error op_encrypt (Key[] recp, EncryptFlags flags, Data plain, Data cipher)
  Encrypt plaintext PLAIN for the recipients RECP and store the resulting ciphertext in CIPHER.
• public EncryptResult* op_encrypt_result ()
  Retrieve a pointer to the result of the encrypt operation
• public Error op_export (string? pattern, ExportMode mode, Data keydata)
  Export the keys found by PATTERN into KEYDATA. If PATTERN is NULL all keys will be exported.
• public Error op_import (Data keydata)
  Import the keys in KEYDATA.
• public unowned ImportResult op_import_result ()
  Get result of last op_import.
• public Error op_keylist_end ()
  ends a pending key list operation in the context.
• public Error op_keylist_next (out Key key)
  returns the next key in the list created by a previous op_keylist_start() operation in the context ctx. The key will have one reference for the user.
• public KeylistResult op_keylist_result ()
  The function op_keylist_result() returns a KeylistResult holding the result of a op_keylist_*() operation. The returned KeylistResult is only valid if the last operation on the context was a key listing operation, and if this operation finished successfully. The returned KeylistResult is only valid until the next operation is started on the context.
• public Error op_keylist_start (string? pattern = null, int secret_only = 0)
  Initiates a key listing operation. It sets everything up, so that subsequent invocations of op_keylist_next() return the keys in the list.
• public Error op_sign (Data plain, Data sig, SigMode mode)
  Sign the plaintext PLAIN and store the signature in SIG.
• public SignResult* op_sign_result ()
  Retrieve a pointer to the results of the signing operation
• public Error op_verify (Data sig, Data signed_text, Data? plaintext)
  Verify that SIG is a valid signature for SIGNED_TEXT.
• public VerifyResult* op_verify_result ()
  Retrieve a pointer to the result of the verify operation
• public void set_armor (bool yes)
• public Error set_engine_info (Protocol proto, string file_name, string home_dir)
  Set information about the configured engines. The string parameters may not be free'd after this calls, because they are not copied.
• public void set_include_certs (int nr_of_certs = -256)
  Include up to nr_of_certs certificates in an S/MIME message, Use "-256" to use the backend's default.
• public Error set_keylist_mode (KeylistMode mode)
• public Error set_locale (int category, string val)
• public void set_passphrase_cb (passphrase_callback cb, void* hook_value = null)
  Set callback function for requesting passphrase. hook_value will be passed as first argument.
• public Error set_protocol (Protocol p)
• public void set_textmode (bool yes)
• public Error sig_notation_add (string name, string val, SigNotationFlags flags)
  Add human readable notation data. If name is null, then value val should be a policy URL. The HUMAN_READABLE flag is forced to be true for notation data and false for policy URLs.
• public void sig_notation_clear ()
  Clear all notation data
• public SigNotation* sig_notation_get ()
  Get sig notations
• public Error signers_add (Key key)
  Add key to list of signers
• public void signers_clear ()
  Delete all signers
• public unowned Key* signers_enum (int n)
  Get the n-th signer's key
• public unowned Context* wait (out Error status, bool hang)
  process the pending operation and, if hang is true, wait for the pending operation to finish.
