From 101a54add351ff62793cbfbf3877787c4791f833 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Werner Koch Date: Wed, 11 Dec 2013 10:20:15 +0100 Subject: gpg: Change --show-session-key to print the session key earlier. * g10/cpr.c (write_status_strings): New. (write_status_text): Replace code by a call to write_status_strings. * g10/mainproc.c (proc_encrypted): Remove show_session_key code. * g10/decrypt-data.c (decrypt_data): Add new show_session_key code. -- This feature can be used to return the session key for just a part of a file. For example to downloading just the first 32k of a huge file, decrypting that incomplete part and while ignoring all the errors break out the session key. The session key may then be used on the server to decrypt the entire file without the need to have the private key on the server.
