GPG how to write enc output to stdout

Question

On Linux, I can generate an enc message using,

gpg --recipient Alice --encrypt source.txt

How can I force it to print to stdout, instead of writing to source.txt.asc?

SOLUTION:

gpg --recipient Alice --encrypt --armor --output - source.txt

Answer 1

Using the --output option.

gpg --recipient Alice --output - --encrypt source.txt

should sent the encrypted message to stdout.
