💖 PGPAINLESS-CLI-ENCRYPT 💖

okay so bestie, this is the PGPainless-CLI Manual page for pgpainless-cli-encrypt, and it's literally the glow-up your secrets deserve. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

pgpainless-cli-encrypt — encrypt a message from standard input 🔐

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pgpainless-cli encrypt [--[no-]armor] [--stacktrace]
[--as={binary|text}] [--profile=PROFILE] [--sign-with=KEY]...
[--with-key-password=PASSWORD]... [--with-password=PASSWORD]...
[CERTS...]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

not me noticing this section is lowkey empty in the original — like, there's just vibes and no paragraphs here, and we're keeping it that way fr fr. the real tea is all in OPTIONS and ARGUMENTS, so scroll down bestie. 💅

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • --as={binary|text} — the type of the input data. it defaults to binary, no cap. 🍓
  • --[no-]armor — ASCII armor the output ✨ (yes, --no-armor is the other half of this, so pick your fighter).
  • --profile=PROFILE — a profile identifier, so you can switch between profiles. main character energy for your config. 👑
  • --sign-with=KEY — sign the output with a private key 🔏. stack it if you want — you can pass this more than once.
  • --stacktrace — print stacktrace 😭 (for when you gotta see the whole dramatic backstory of an error).
  • --with-key-password=PASSWORD — passphrase to unlock the secret key(s) 🔑.
heads up bestie: this is an INDIRECT data type (e.g. file, environment variable, file descriptor...). so it's not just the raw password sitting there, iykyk.

you can repeat this one too, since secret keys can be plural.

  • --with-password=PASSWORD — encrypt the message with a password 🤫.
same deal, bestie: this is an INDIRECT data type (e.g. file, environment variable, file descriptor...).

repeatable, ... and all.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • [CERTS...] — certificates the message gets encrypted to 💖. these are optional-ish in the synopsis brackets, but like, they're the whole point of encrypting to someone, so.
no warnings, no bugs, no exit statuses on this page bestie — that's literally all the deets. not me being thorough about saying there's nothing else. 😌

that's a wrap on PGPAINLESS-CLI-ENCRYPT(1) from the PGPainless-CLI Manual — go encrypt something iconic and stay safe out there 🫶✨🌈💜
