py3rsa-decrypt(1)

💖 py3rsa-decrypt — the manual, but make it slay 💖

okay bestie, pull up a chair, we're reading the py3rsa-decrypt page from the General Commands Manual together and honestly? it's short, it's sweet, it's iconic. let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

py3rsa-decrypt — decrypt a file 🎀

like. that's it. that's the whole name section. she's simple, she's effective, she ate.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

py3rsa-decrypt [OPTION]... PRIVATE_KEY

so the vibe is: you give her some OPTIONs (or don't, she's flexible 💅) and you absolutely must hand over a PRIVATE_KEY. no key, no decryption, no service. periodt.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Decrypt a file. 🦋

but here's the tea, and it's important tea: for this to even work, the original file must be shorter than the key length in order for it to have been encrypted in the first place. so if your file is huge and you're wondering why nothing is decrypting? that's why bestie. it's giving "the math said no." 😭

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -h, --help — shows the help message, then dips out. exit stage left, queen 👑
• -i INPUT, --input=INPUT — the name of the file you wanna decrypt. if you don't specify it, she reads from stdin. yes, she'll take it from the pipeline, she's not picky 🍓
• -o OUTPUT, --output=OUTPUT — the name of the file to write the decrypted file to. no option present? she writes to stdout instead. so chill of her ✨
• --keyform=KEYFORM — the key format of the private key. default is PEM. that's the default. the default is PEM. did I mention the default is PEM? because it is 💜

tiny sign-off before you go: this was py3rsa-decrypt(1) from the General Commands Manual, section 1, and the footer was just as iconic as the header — same name, same energy, <rainbow>py3rsa-decrypt(1)</rainbow>, top to bottom. she's symmetrical. she's balanced. she's that girl. 💅💖✨

now go decrypt something, iykyk 🫶🎀
