View .gpg file content

Question

I'm writing a C application and I wanna know if there is a way to view .gpg file content (then the encrypted content). The .gpg file in question concerns a simple .txt file that I encrypted. I know a bit GPGME, it's possible with its function? Or other ways...

EDIT: I thought one thing: if my application use "--armor" option, I've a .gpg file in ASCII mode and not binary...so the .gpg file can be read simply, true? The easiest way...

libgcrypt

This is a general purpose cryptographic library based on the code from GnuPG. It provides functions for all cryptograhic building blocks: symmetric ciphers (AES, DES, Blowfish, CAST5, Twofish, Arcfour), hash algorithms (MD4, MD5, RIPE-MD160, SHA-1, TIGER-192), MACs (HMAC for all hash algorithms), public key algorithms (RSA, ElGamal, DSA), large integer functions, random numbers and a lot of supporting functions.
