description = "Modern, simple file encryption tool. Bare invocation reads input (file or stdin) and writes encrypted output (or vice versa with -d/--decrypt). -o/--output redirects from stdout to a file. -r/--recipient and -R/--recipients-file specify keys; -i/--identity sets the decryption key. -a/--armor produces ASCII output. -p/--passphrase prompts. No network. Active project."
