Contexts
********

   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.

 - Data type: GpgmeCtx
     The `GpgmeCtx' type is a handle for a GPGME context, which is used
     to hold the configuration, status and result of cryptographic
     operations.
