Exchanging Data
***************

   A lot of data has to be exchanged between the user and the crypto
engine, like plaintext messages, ciphertext, signatures and information
about the keys.  The technical details about exchanging the data
information are completely abstracted by GPGME.  The user provides and
receives the data via `GpgmeData' objects, regardless of the
communication protocol between GPGME and the crypto engine in use.

 - Data type: GpgmeData
     The `GpgmeData' type is a handle for a container for generic data,
     which is used by GPGME to exchange data with the user.
