+To check that data has been encrypted according to the rules of the
+current compliance mode, a gpg user needs to evaluate the status
+lines. This is allows frontends to handle compliance check in a more
+flexible way. However, for scripted use the required evaluation of
+the status-line requires quite some effort; this option can be used
+instead to make sure that the gpg process exits with a failure if the
+compliance rules are not fulfilled. Note that this option has
+currently an effect only in "de-vs" mode.
