Specifying files
When referencing file paths/file names that contain spaces, you must surround them with "speech marks" on Windows and 'apostrophes' on Linux/macOS:
$ kryptor -e -p "GitHub Logo.png"
$ kryptor -e -p "C:\Users\samuel-lucas6\Downloads\GitHub Logo.png"
Files in the same directory as the kryptor executable can be specified using their file name:
$ kryptor -e -p message.txt
However, files that are not in the same directory as the kryptor executable must be specified using a file path:
$ kryptor -e -p C:\Users\samuel-lucas6\Documents\message.txt
Specifying your private key
You can use the -x|--private option without specifying a file path to use your default private key. This is the recommended approach, but it means your private keys must be kept in the default folder.
To specify a non-default private key, you can use -x|--private followed by =[file] like so:
$ kryptor -e -x=C:\Users\samuel-lucas6\Documents\encryption.private message.txt
