🌸 RSAENCRYPT(1) — the rsaencrypt page, but make it make sense 💅

okay bestie so this is the man page for rsaencrypt, and it lives in the User Commands part of the manual. Yes the header literally says RSAENCRYPT(1) twice like a girl who couldn't decide on a caption. We move. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

rsaencrypt — runs TPM2_RsaEncrypt. that's the whole vibe. one job, does it.

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so first things first, the page opens with a little jump-scare:

--version-string=v1045 is not a valid option

not a valid option. noted. moving on. 😭

Then it tells you what the program is:

rsaencrypt

Runs TPM2_RSA_Encrypt

and then it hands you the flags like this:

  • -hk key handle — the key handle. that's your key handle, bestie 🔑
  • -id decrypt file name — the decrypt file name
  • -oe encrypt file name — optional, and it sits in brackets because of that: [-oe encrypt file name (default do not save)]. default is: do not save. so if you want the encrypt file name saved you gotta say so, otherwise she's not keeping it. periodt. 💾

then — and I need you to stay with me here — the page does the exact same thing again. same text, same everything:

--version is not a valid option

also not a valid option. 💀

rsaencrypt

Runs TPM2_RSA_Encrypt
  • -hk key handle — the key handle
  • -id decrypt file name — the decrypt file name
  • -oe encrypt file name — optional: [-oe encrypt file name (default do not save)], default do not save

so yeah. the description says it twice. that's not me being dramatic, that's just what's on the page. iconic honestly. the way she said it once and then said it again with feeling. 🫶

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay so the real tea is that the full documentation for rsaencrypt is maintained as a Texinfo manual. so if the info and rsaencrypt programs are properly installed at your site, this command:

info rsaencrypt

should give you access to the complete manual. go get your full lore, bestie 📖✨

little sign-off moment: this page is rsaencrypt, dated July 2017, and it's page RSAENCRYPT(1) of the manual. love that for her. mwah 💖🎀🦋
