Format of the "--list-config" output
====================================
--list-config outputs information about the GnuPG configuration for
the benefit of frontends or other programs that call GnuPG. There are
several list-config items, all colon delimited like the rest of the
--with-colons output. The first field is always "cfg" to indicate
configuration information. The second field is one of (with
examples):
version: the third field contains the version of GnuPG.
cfg:version:1.3.5
pubkey: the third field contains the public key algorithmdcaiphers
this version of GnuPG supports, separated by semicolons. The
algorithm numbers are as specified in RFC-2440.
cfg:pubkey:1;2;3;16;17
cipher: the third field contains the symmetric ciphers this version of
GnuPG supports, separated by semicolons. The cipher numbers
are as specified in RFC-2440.
cfg:cipher:2;3;4;7;8;9;10
digest: the third field contains the digest (hash) algorithms this
version of GnuPG supports, separated by semicolons. The
digest numbers are as specified in RFC-2440.
cfg:digest:1;2;3;8;9;10
compress: the third field contains the compression algorithms this
version of GnuPG supports, separated by semicolons. The
algorithm numbers are as specified in RFC-2440.
cfg:compress:0;1;2;3
group: the third field contains the name of the group, and the fourth
field contains the values that the group expands to, separated
by semicolons.
For example, a group of:
group mynames = paige 0x12345678 joe patti
would result in:
cfg:group:mynames:patti;joe;0x12345678;paige
