The gpg-connect-agent is a utility to communicate with a
running gpg-agent. It is useful to check out the commands
gpg-agent provides using the Assuan interface. It might
also be useful for scripting simple applications. Input is expected
at stdin and output gets printed to stdout.
It is very similar to running gpg-agent in server mode; but
here we connect to a running instance.
