In a simple program, for which a blocking operation is acceptable, the
following function can be used to retrieve a single key.

The function @code{gpgme_get_key} gets the key with the fingerprint

-and return it in @var{r_key}. If @var{force_update} is true, force a
-refresh of the key from the crypto backend and replace the key in the
-cache, if any. If @var{secret} is true, get the secret key.
