- Generate an encrypted file that can be decrypted with a passphrase:
`age --passphrase --output {{path/to/encrypted_file}} {{path/to/unencrypted_file}}`
- Encrypt a file with one or more public keys entered as literals (repeat the `--recipient` flag to specify multiple public keys):
`age --recipient {{public_key}} --output {{path/to/encrypted_file}} {{path/to/unencrypted_file}}`
- Encrypt a file to one or more recipients with their public keys specified in a file (one per line):
`age --recipients-file {{path/to/recipients_file}} --output {{path/to/encrypted_file}} {{path/to/unencrypted_file}}`
- Decrypt a file with a passphrase:
`age --decrypt --output {{path/to/decrypted_file}} {{path/to/encrypted_file}}`
- Decrypt a file with a private key file:
`age --decrypt --identity {{path/to/private_key_file}} --output {{path/to/decrypted_file}} {{path/to/encrypted_file}}`
