*Don't do this* !
The interface presented there is for humans only and may change at any
time. In fact, it depends on certain options and has changed several
times in the past.

There is one: gpg reads directly from the TTY unless you use --batch.
This allows the use of readline features and to disable echo during
passphrase entry.
Please use a parameter file as described in the manual. This is a well
defined interface and the way to control key generation.
