45 * Assume that the input is a signature and verify it without
46 * generating any output. With no arguments, the signature packet
47 * is read from stdin (it may be a detached signature when not
48 * used in batch mode). If only a sigfile is given, it may be a complete
49 * signature or a detached signature in which case the signed stuff
50 * is expected from stdin. With more than 1 argument, the first should
51 * be a detached signature and the remaining files are the signed stuff.

65 /* decide whether we should handle a detached or a normal signature,
66 * which is needed so that the code later can hash the correct data and
67 * not have a normal signature act as detached signature and ignoring the
68 * indended signed material from the 2nd file or stdin.
69 * 1. gpg <file - normal
70 * 2. gpg file - normal (or detached)
71 * 3. gpg file <file2 - detached
72 * 4. gpg file file2 - detached
73 * The question is how decide between case 2 and 3? The only way
74 * we can do it is by reading one byte from stdin and the unget
75 * it; the problem here is that we may be reading from the
76 * terminal (which could be detected using isatty() but won't work
77 * when under contol of a pty using program (e.g. expect)) and
78 * might get us in trouble when stdin is used for another purpose
79 * (--passphrase-fd 0). So we have to break with the behaviour
80 * prior to gpg 1.0.4 by assuming that case 3 is a normal
81 * signature (where file2 is ignored and require for a detached
82 * signature to indicate signed material comes from stdin by using
83 * case 4 with a file2 of "-".
85 * Actually we don't have to change anything here but can handle
86 * that all quite easily in mainproc.c
