py3rsa-encrypt(1)

📦 version 4.9, in debian bookworm, debian trixie, ubuntu jammy, ubuntu noble, ubuntu questing, ubuntu resolute, ubuntu stonking

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so py3rsa-encrypt — bestie, it encrypts a file. that's the whole vibe 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

py3rsa-encrypt [OPTION]... PUBLIC_KEY

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So like, it encrypts a file, periodt. 🫶

But lowkey there's a catch: the file has to be shorter than the key length for the encryption to actually happen. That's not a suggestion, that's the rule. If your file is too long? It's not giving. 😭

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -h, --help — shows you the help message and then exits. iconic behaviour, no notes. 👑
  • -i INPUT, --input=INPUT — the name of the file you wanna encrypt. Don't specify it? Then it reads from stdin instead. very flexible of it fr fr 🌈
  • -i OUTPUT, --output=OUTPUT — the name of the file to write the encrypted file to. Leave this option out and it writes to stdout instead. 💖
okay so heads up bestie 👀 — the page literally spells both of those short options -i. that's not me being cute, that's what's written. just... keep your eyes peeled, iykyk 💀
  • --keyform=KEYFORM — the key format of the public key. the default is PEM. that's it, that's the whole thing, slay. 🎀
