DECRYPTION_OKAY
The decryption process succeeded. This means, that either the
correct secret key has been used or the correct passphrase
for a conventional encrypted message was given. The program
itself may return an errorcode because it may not be possible to
verify a signature for some reasons.

@subsection Ask for a passphrase
This function is usually used to ask for a passphrase to be used for
conventional encryption, but may also be used by programs which need
symmetric encryption, but may also be used by programs which need
special handling of passphrases. This command uses a syntax which helps
clients to use the agent with minimum effort.
