# gpgedit: edit an encrypted file with an associated list of recipients
#
# $ gpgedit secrets.gpg [gpg args]
#
# gpgedit needs the companion file "secrets.rcp" to exist, and contains a list
# of intended recipients, one per line. The recipient file can contain end-of-
# line comments, starting with the "#" character.
#
# If you don't have the public keys for one or more intended recipients in
# your keyring, this script will throw an error and abort early.
#
# Example contents of secrets.rcp:
#
# $ cat >secrets.rcp <<EOM
# 1E57F9A5 # John Doe
# AC56C90A # Jane Doe
# EOM
#
# You can pass additional args to gpg by passing additional args to gpgedit.
# This will be useful if you have multiple secret keys and need to specify
# which one to use when signing the encrypted file. For example:
#
# $ gpgedit secrets.gpg -u 1E57F9A5
#
