I apologize for not looking into this more before recommending it. The
ability to specify a name to --list-dir is very recent (only since
2.1.14). All the other 2.1.x releases, and the entire 2.0.x series,
don't support an argument to --list-dir. They just print out all the
items.

$ gpgconf --list-dir
...
agent-socket:/run/user/1000/gnupg/S.gpg-agent
...

It's still a stable, easy to parse format, but it does require parsing
instead of just using the output directly.

Cheers,
