NAME

       car - crytographic archiver.

SYNOPSIS

       car [options] [paths...]
       car --decode [.carfile]

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
       symmetric cipher is used, and the passhrase is hashed to form a key.

       --decrypt
              Specify decryption operation on an existing car stream or file.  If no file is specified, stdin is
              used.

       --digest=name
              Specify name of digest algorithm.  By default sha will be used.

       --follow

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

       --overwrite
              Always overwrite existing files without prompting.

       --quiet
              Non-interactive and no status output.
