learning which symmetric cipher via --status-fd when --decrypting

2011-02-02 Thread Daniel Kahn Gillmor
Hi GnuPG folks-- is there a way to get information about which symmetric cipher was used on an encrypted message when decrypting? for example: < test.pgp gpg --decrypt --batch --status-fd=2 >/dev/null yields: > [GNUPG:] ENC_TO C61BD3EC21484CFF 1 0 > [GNUPG:] USERID_HINT C61BD3EC21484CFF Daniel
