Writing gpg decrypted file to a specified outfile

Writing gpg decrypted file to a specified outfile

I attempted to decrypt an encrypted gpg file using:
gpg -d <encrypted file> --output <outfile>
and just get a message: usage: gpg [options] --decrypt [filename]
In contrast, if I use
gpg -d <encrypted file>
the file is decrypted, but it's written to a default file and displayed to
the terminal screen. The former isn't a big issue, but the latter (display
in terminal screen while decrypting) is a real nuisance. What, if
anything, can be done about it?
