## API/Commands

### encrypt

> encrypt \<file\> - Encryptes file with OpenSSL AES-256 cipher block chaining. Writes an encrypted file out *(ciphertext)* appending `.aes` extension.

➜ cryptr encrypt ./secrets-file
enter aes-256-cbc encryption password:
Verifying - enter aes-256-cbc encryption password:
```

```
➜ ls -alh
-rw-r--r--  1 user  group   1.0G Oct  1 13:33 secrets-file
-rw-r--r--  1 user  group   1.0G Oct  1 13:34 secrets-file.aes
```


### decrypt

> decrypt \<file.aes\> - Decrypt encrypted file using OpenSSL AES-256 cipher block chaining. Writes a decrypted file out *(plaintext)* removing `.aes` extension.

```
➜ ls -alh
-rw-r--r--  1 user  group   1.0G Oct  1 13:34 secrets-file.aes
```

```
➜ cryptr decrypt ./secrets-file.aes
enter aes-256-cbc decryption password:
```

```
➜ ls -alh
-rw-r--r--  1 user  group   1.0G Oct  1 13:35 secrets-file
-rw-r--r--  1 user  group   1.0G Oct  1 13:34 secrets-file.aes
```
