All cryptographic operations in GPGME are performed within a context, which contains the internal state of the operation as well as configuration parameters. By using several contexts you can run several cryptographic operations in parallel, with different configuration.
The gpgme_ctx_t
type is a handle for a GPGME context,
which is used to hold the configuration, status and result of
cryptographic operations.
