.TH FILE2KEY 1 FILE2KEY
.SH NAME
file2key - generates a key from a file and a passphrase
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B file2key
.RI [ file ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B file2key
uses Keccak[] to create a hash as big as a selected
file and then prints the bitwise exclusive OR of the
hash and the file, making a key file from any normal
file and a passphrase.
.PP
The idea is the reverse of steganography.
.PP
.B file2key
can also be used to encrypt and decrypt files.

is specified, or if the specified file is
.RB \(dq - \(dq.
.SH INPUT FILES
The input file can be any file type.
.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
No environment variables affect the execution of
.BR file2key
.SH ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS
Default.
.SH STDOUT
The
