💖 PSKC2PSKC — bestie's guide to the pskc2pskc glow-up 💖

okay so this is a page from python-pskc (manual section 1), and it's literally the tool that gives your PSKC files a makeover. sit down, grab a boba, let's go 🧋✨

✨ NAME ✨

pskc2pskc — bestie, it converts a PSKC file to standard format. that's the whole job. she's simple, she's iconic, she serves 👑

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

pskc2pskc [options] <FILE>

that's it. that's the whole vibe. one file, some options, and she's off 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea 🍵 — pskc2pskc reads a PSKC file in any of the supported formats, and if there's any encrypted information in there, she can optionally decrypt it. then she outputs a PSKC file in the RFC 6030 format, and if you want, she can encrypt that output file too.

read → optionally decrypt → write RFC 6030 → optionally encrypt. a full glow-up pipeline, no cap 💖

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h, --help — shows you the usage summary. the "what do i even do here" button 🫶
  • -V, --version — tells you the version info. she's proud of who she is 💁‍♀️
  • -o FILE, --output FILE — by default pskc2pskc writes the PSKC file to stdout. use this if you'd rather save it to a file instead. main character choice, honestly ✨
  • -p PASS/FILE, --password PASS/FILE, --passwd PASS/FILE — the password for decryption 🔐. and plot twist: if the argument points to a file, the password gets read from that file instead. sneaky, but make it fashion 💅
  • -s KEY/FILE, --secret KEY/FILE — a hex encoded encryption key, or a file containing the binary key (raw data, not encoded) used for decryption. know the difference bestie, it matters 😭
  • --new-password PASS/FILE, --new-passwd PASS/FILE — outputs an encrypted PSKC file protected with the password you specify. or, if you gave a file argument, she reads the password from that file instead 🌸
  • --new-secret KEY/FILE — makes sure the output PSKC file is encrypted with the key value you specify 🔑. you can hand her a hex-encoded value, or point to a file that contains the binary value of the key. two ways, both valid, both slay ✨
