Usage

Examples:

This command calls the Vigenere cipher with a key of 'password', and encrypts the text from hello.txt in place as an output file is not specified.

ucyph 5 hello.txt -k 'password'

To decrypt the text, simply add -d flag to the end of the command:

ucyph 5 hello.txt -k 'password' -d

This command calls the Playfair cipher with a key of 'password', and writes the encrypted text from hello.txt into output.txt.

ucyph 11 hello.txt -o output.txt -k password

Now, to decrypt the text from output.txt, simply add -d flag to the end of the command(note that an output file is not specified):

ucyph 11 output.txt -k password -d
