Description

I think that options should be passed when decryption like

sops --kms ${KMS_ARN} --aws-profile ${AWS_PROFILE} -d encrypted.json > decrypted.json

But, this proposal may be not appropriate to this project. Do you think about it?

Research direction

Start from the decryption command path exercised by sops --kms ${KMS_ARN} --aws-profile ${AWS_PROFILE} -d encrypted.json. Check how these options are currently handled during decryption and verify the command with an encrypted JSON file. Done means both options are accepted and used for the requested decryption.
