symcryptrun
is invoked this way:
symcryptrun --class CLASS --program PROGRAM --keyfile KEYFILE [--decrypt | --encrypt] [inputfile]
For encryption, the plain text must be provided on STDIN or as the argument inputfile, and the ciphertext will be output to STDOUT. For decryption vice versa.
CLASS describes the calling conventions of the external tool. Currently it must be given as ‘confucius’. PROGRAM is the full filename of that external tool.
For the class ‘confucius’ the option --keyfile is required; keyfile is the name of a file containing the secret key, which may be protected by a passphrase. For detailed calling conventions, see the source code.
Note, that gpg-agent
must be running before starting
symcryptrun
.
The following additional options may be used:
-v
--verbose
Output additional information while running.
-q
--quiet
Try to be as quiet as possible.
--homedir dir
Set the name of the home directory to dir. If this option is not
used, the home directory defaults to ~/.gnupg. It is only
recognized when given on the command line. It also overrides any home
directory stated through the environment variable GNUPGHOME
or
(on W32 systems) by means of the Registry entry
HKCU\Software\GNU\GnuPG:HomeDir.
--log-file file
Append all logging output to file. Default is to write logging information to STDERR.
The possible exit status codes of symcryptrun
are:
0
