STEPIC(1)

💖 STEPIC — Python image steganography 💖

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because this is genuinely one of the cutest little tools and it's about to become your whole personality 🦋

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So basically: stepic hides your secret little files inside images, or digs hidden data back out of an image. That's it. That's the whole vibe. Steganography, but make it lowkey. 💅

Here's the usage, verbatim, no notes:

stepic [-h] [--version] [--debug] [-d] [-e] [-f FORMAT] [-i FILE]
       [-t FILE] [-o FILE]

Hide data in an image, or read hidden data from an image. Iconic. No cap.

🌸 optional arguments 🌸

okay here's the whole menu, every single one, I'm not skipping a thing because I love you 🫶

• -h, --help — shows this help message and dips. classic.
• --version — shows the program's version number and exits. short king behavior.
• --debug — the man page literally gives no description for this one 💀 so I'm not gonna make anything up. It's just there. It's mysterious. It's giving main character energy and we respect it.
• -d, --decode — hand it an image, and it writes out the hidden data file. surprise!! 🎀
• -e, --encode — hand it an image and a data file, and it writes out a brand new image file with your data hidden inside it. sneaky. obsessed. 🔥
• -f FORMAT, --format FORMAT — the output image format. it's optional, so if you don't say anything it'll do its own thing. ✨
• -i FILE, --image-in= FILE — read in image FILE for decoding or encoding. this is your source image, bestie.
• -t FILE, --data-in= FILE — read in data FILE for encoding. this is the secret you're smuggling. 🤫
• -o FILE, --out= FILE — write out to FILE. when decoding that's your data, when encoding that's your image. it knows what to do. 👑
