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

OPTIONS

       --cipher=name
              Specify symetric cipher.  By default 256 bit aes is used.

       --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
              Dereference and follow symlinks.  Otherwise they are ignored.

       --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.

       --recursive
              If  argument  is  a  directory,  recursively  scan  directory  and any subdirectory
              contents as arguments.

       --help Outputs help screen for the user.
