simplest encryption tool in the world.
Usage
Encrypt a file using a password:
encpipe -e -p password -i inputfile -o outputfileDecrypt a file using a password:
encpipe -d -p password -i inputfile -o outputfile-i and -o can be set to - or omitted to read/write from the standard input/output.
-P password_file can be used to read the password, or an arbitrary long key (that doesn't have to be text) from a file.
If you don't feel inspired, -G prints a random password.
Example - encrypted file transfer:
nc -l 6666 | encpipe -d -p password
encpipe -e -p password -i /etc/passwd | nc 127.0.0.1 6666Example - compressed, encrypted archives:
zstd -5 -v -c "$FILE" | encpipe -e -p "$PASSWD" -o "${FILE}.zst.encpipe"Dependencies
None. It includes libhydrogen as a submodule. There is nothing to install.

It was faster to write than remember how to use GnuPG and OpenSSL.
