rage-keygen(1)              General Commands Manual             rage-keygen(1)

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
              # <?><?><?>: 2021-01-02T15:30:45+01:00
              # <?><?>:
              age1lvyvwawkr0mcnnnncaghunadrqkmuf9e6507x9y920xxpp866cnql7dp2z

       Write a new identity to "key.txt":
              $ rage-keygen -o key.txt
              <?><?>:
              age1ql3z7hjy54pw3hyww5ayyfg7zqgvc7w3j2elw8zmrj2kg5sfn9aqmcac8p



       Convert an identity to a recipient:
              $ rage-keygen -y key.txt
              age1ql3z7hjy54pw3hyww5ayyfg7zqgvc7w3j2elw8zmrj2kg5sfn9aqmcac8p
