The gpgme_data_type_t
type is used to return the detected type
of the content of a data buffer.
GPGME_DATA_TYPE_INVALID
This is returned by gpgme_data_identify
if it was not possible
to identify the data. Reasons for this might be a non-seekable stream
or a memory problem. The value is 0.
GPGME_DATA_TYPE_UNKNOWN
The type of the data is not known.
GPGME_DATA_TYPE_PGP_SIGNED
The data is an OpenPGP signed message. This may be a binary signature, a detached one or a cleartext signature.
GPGME_DATA_TYPE_PGP_ENCRYPTED
SINCE: 1.7.0
The data is an OpenPGP encrypted message.
GPGME_DATA_TYPE_PGP_SIGNATURE
SINCE: 1.7.0
The data is an OpenPGP detached signature.
GPGME_DATA_TYPE_PGP_OTHER
This is a generic OpenPGP message. In most cases this will be encrypted data.
GPGME_DATA_TYPE_PGP_KEY
This is an OpenPGP key (private or public).
GPGME_DATA_TYPE_CMS_SIGNED
This is a CMS signed message.
GPGME_DATA_TYPE_CMS_ENCRYPTED
This is a CMS encrypted (enveloped data) message.
GPGME_DATA_TYPE_CMS_OTHER
This is used for other CMS message types.
GPGME_DATA_TYPE_X509_CERT
The data is a X.509 certificate
GPGME_DATA_TYPE_PKCS12
The data is a PKCS#12 message. This is commonly used to exchange private keys for X.509.
SINCE: 1.4.3
The function gpgme_data_identify
returns the type of the data
with the handle dh. If it is not possible to perform the
identification, the function returns zero
(GPGME_DATA_TYPE_INVALID
). Note that depending on how the data
object has been created the identification may not be possible or the
data object may change its internal state (file pointer moved). For
file or memory based data object, the state should not change.
