  • --version — prints the version and dips. prints version, then exit. periodt. 💀
  • --encoding ENCODING — sets the encoding of the INPUT. and like, if you're not sure which encodings you can even use? run --list-encodings, she'll tell you. iykyk. 🌸
  • --list-encodings — shows you the available encodings and exits. a little menu of options, very demure, very mindful. ✨
  • --password PASSWORD — sets the password to open the file. yes, protected files, she can handle them, no cap. 🔐
