car - crytographic archiver.

SYNOPSIS

car [options] [paths...]

DESCRIPTION

Creates and decodes portable cross-platform crytographic archives. An archive can be a collection of files, or an in-stream message that is piped. Output can be to a binary .car file, or ascified text. A symetric cipher is used, and the passhrase is hashed to form a key.

--output=filename: Specify output file for a new archive. By default stdout is used.

--quiet: Non-interactive and no status output.
