💅 JOSE-ALG(1) — the jose-alg page, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, welcome to jose-alg — this is the manual page for the jose alg command, and honestly? it's a vibe. it's short, it's sweet, and it does exactly one thing but does it iconically. ✨

🌸 NAME

jose-alg — lists all supported algorithms 🫶

like, all of them. the whole roster. the algorithm friend group, if you will.

🎀 SYNOPSIS

jose alg [-k KIND]

that's it. that's the whole thing. no cap. 💅

🦋 OVERVIEW

so the jose alg command lists the algorithms that are supported by all jose commands. every single one of them. it's giving "one big happy algorithm family." 👑

now here's the tea: jose supports different kinds of algorithms (encryption, signing, hashing, etc. — literally so many), so if you don't wanna see the whole buffet, you can limit which kinds you see using the -k option. and the fun part? -k can be specified multiple times — stack 'em, queen. 🎯

if you wanna know what the different kinds of algorithms even are, use the -k ? option and it'll tell you. iykyk.

and if you don't use -k at all? no worries, bestie — all algorithms get listed, regardless of their kind. every last one. main character energy fr fr. 🌈

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -k KIND, --kind=KIND — restricts the algorithm list to a certain kind 🔥 like, "only show me this flavor please."
  • -k ?, --kind=? — lists all the valid algorithm kinds 🎀 perfect for when you forgot what the options even are (no judgment, we've all been there).

💜 EXAMPLES

wanna list all the encryption algorithms? say less. literally just:

$ jose alg -k encr
A128CBC-HS256
A128GCM
A192CBC-HS384
A192GCM
A256CBC-HS512
A256GCM

look at them. all lined up. all encrypted. all slaying. 🧚⭐
