Description-en: Catenates files while decrypting PGP-encrypted sections
Guncat acts like unix's cat command, but handles
(partially) encrypted sections of processed files.
Sections of guncat's input files which are surrounded by
-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----
and
-----END PGP MESSAGE-----
markers are decrypted before being concatenated to the
standard output stream.
.
Guncat's output (i.e., the standard output stream) may
subsequently be processed by other programs, like grep
or less. Guncat supports reading a decryption passphrase
either from stdin or from gpg-agent.
.
Guncat stands for (Gpg UNencrypting CAT) and was designed to
facilitate searching through (partially) PGP encrypted files,
as encountered in mailboxes, for example.
