NAME

rage-keygen - Generate age-compatible encryption key pairs

SYNOPSIS

rage-keygen [-h|--help] [-V|--version] [-o|--output] [-y ] [INPUT]

DESCRIPTION

rage-keygen generates a new native age key pair, and outputs the identity to standard output or to the OUTPUT file. The output includes the public key and the current time as comments.

If the output is not going to a terminal, rage-keygen prints the public key to standard error.

OPTIONS

-h, --help

Print this help message and exit.

-V, --version

Print version info and exit.

-o, --output=OUTPUT

Write the identity to OUTPUT instead of standard output.

If OUTPUT already exists, it is not overwritten.

-y

Read an identity file from INPUT or from standard input and output the corresponding recipient(s), one per line, with no comments.

[INPUT]

Path to a file to read from.

EXAMPLES

Generate a new identity:

$ rage-keygen
# 已创建: 2021-01-02T15:30:45+01:00
# 公钥: age1lvyvwawkr0mcnnnncaghunadrqkmuf9e6507x9y920xxpp866cnql7dp2z
AGE-SECRET-KEY-1N9JEPW6DWJ0ZQUDX63F5A03GX8QUW7PXDE39N8UYF82VZ9PC8UFS3M7XA9

Write a new identity to "key.txt":

$ rage-keygen -o key.txt
公钥: age1ql3z7hjy54pw3hyww5ayyfg7zqgvc7w3j2elw8zmrj2kg5sfn9aqmcac8p

Convert an identity to a recipient:

$ rage-keygen -y key.txt
