Is the --eval option what you're looking for? It requires some parsing if you only want the value, but it's intended to be directly evaluated by the current shell, so you can eval it and then ask the shell what $SSH_AUTH_SOCK is.

Note that the --agents gpg option does not behave the same way, unfortunately. I'm about to file a separate issue about this.

It's so long time ago, I don't remember at all what I was trying to do and why.
