     local netpgp = require 'netpgp'
     btc = netpgp.new()
     netpgp.setvar(btc, "need seckey", 1)
     netpgp.init(btc)

     netpgp.encrypt_file(btc, "scratch", "scratch.gpg", "armoured")
     netpgp.decrypt_file(btc, "scratch.gpg", "itch", "armoured")
     netpgp.sign_file(btc, "scratch", "scratch.asc", "armoured", "detached")
     netpgp.verify_file(btc, "scratch.asc", "armoured")
