age-keygen - generate
age(1) key pairs
age-keygen [
-o OUTPUT]
age-keygen -y [
-o OUTPUT] [
INPUT]
age-keygen generates a new native
age(1) key pair, and outputs the
identity to standard output or to the
OUTPUT file. The output includes
the public key and the current time as comments.
If the output is not going to a terminal,
age-keygen prints the public
key to standard error.
-
-o, --output=OUTPUT
- Write the identity to OUTPUT instead of standard
output.
- If OUTPUT already exists, it is not
overwritten.
- -y
- Read an identity file from INPUT or from standard
input and output the corresponding recipient(s), one per line, with no
comments.
- --version
- Print the version and exit.
Generate a new identity:
-
-
$ age-keygen
# created: 2021-01-02T15:30:45+01:00
# public key: age1lvyvwawkr0mcnnnncaghunadrqkmuf9e6507x9y920xxpp866cnql7dp2z
