Thank you! I modified that a bit, to make it more readable to me and fix
a little bug: The second `$1` doesn’t expand to the file name. Also, I
had to pass `--pinentry-mode cancel`. Otherwise it would ask me for the
PIN of my smartcard. See below for my version.
What I don’t like is the `2>/dev/null` because that may mask actual
error messages. I specified `--quiet`. That works to some extend, but I
still get:
gpg: decryption failed: No secret key
I wonder how to get rid of that.
My version:
#/bin/sh
filename=$1
enc_sub_key=04FDF78D1679DD94
gpg --decrypt \
--pinentry-mode cancel \
--status-fd 1 \
--quiet \
--output /dev/null "$1" |
awk -v filename="$filename" \
-v enc_sub_key="$enc_sub_key" \
'
$1=="[GNUPG:]" &&
$2=="ENC_TO" &&
$3==enc_sub_key {
print filename
exit 0
}'
