istream | input stream |
sigstream | detached-signature stream. | [nullable]
ostream | output stream for use with encapsulated signature input streams. | [nullable]

sign | sign as well as encrypt |
userid | the key id (or email address) to use when signing (assuming `sign` is `TRUE`). | [nullable]
flags | a set of GMimeEncryptFlags |
recipients | an array of recipient key ids and/or email addresses. | [element-type utf8]

### g_mime_crypto_context_decrypt ()

    GMimeDecryptResult *
    g_mime_crypto_context_decrypt (GMimeCryptoContext *ctx,

                                   const char *session_key,
                                   GMimeStream *istream,
                                   GMimeStream *ostream,
                                   GError **err);

Decrypts the ciphertext input stream and writes the resulting cleartext to the output stream.

When non-`NULL`, `session_key` should be a `NULL`-terminated string, such as the one returned by `g_mime_decrypt_result_get_session_key()` from a previous decryption. If the `session_key` is not valid, decryption will fail.

If the encrypted input stream was also signed, the returned GMimeDecryptResult will have a non-`NULL` list of signatures, each with a GMimeSignatureStatus (among other details about each signature).

On success, the returned GMimeDecryptResult will contain a list of certificates, one for each recipient, that the original encrypted stream was encrypted to.

Note: It *may* be possible to maliciously design an encrypted stream such that recursively decrypting it will result in an endless loop, causing a denial of service attack on your application.

#### Parameters

ctx | a GMimeCryptoContext |
flags | a set of GMimeDecryptFlags |
session_key | the session key to use or `NULL`. | [nullable]
istream | input/ciphertext stream |
ostream | output/cleartext stream |
err | a GError |

#### Returns

a GMimeDecryptResult on success or `NULL` on error.

Imports a stream of keys/certificates contained within `istream` into the key/certificate database controlled by `ctx` .

#### Parameters

#### Returns

the total number of keys imported on success or `-1` on fail.
