Under Windows you need to work with system handles, not libc file descriptors. That is you need to use ReadFile and WriteFile. However, if you use GnuPG-2 (or gpg 1.4 with the use-agent option), the callback will not be used at all. Instead the pinentry pops up - you can't control that. If you want to control that you need to implement some kind of loopback pinentry. Your loopback pinentry might look at the envvar PINENTRY_USER_DATA, get the passphrase directly or indirectly from in and pass that back to gpg-agent. Your application then needs to make sure that before you call something which might need a passphrase, it has to set the appropriate info into PINENTRY_USER_DATA. Still you won't get the callback. > Windows (I really want it to work cross-platform, even though i don't > use Windows myself, and as far as I know windows doesn't implement > dup(2)) Windows (but not Windows CE < 6) does support dup() in the libc and DuplicateHandle in the W32 API.
