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.
