$ minisign -G
The public key is put into the `minisign.pub` file, and the secret key
into the `minisign.key` file.
The public key is printed and put into the `minisign.pub` file. The secret key
is encrypted and saved as `minisign.key` file.
Signing a file
--------------
$ minisign -S -m myfile.txt
$ minisign -Sm myfile.txt
Or to include a comment in the signature, that will be verified and
displayed when verifying the file:
$ minisign -S -m myfile.txt -t 'This comment will be signed as well'
$ minisign -Sm myfile.txt -t 'This comment will be signed as well'
The signature is put into `myfile.txt.minisig`.
Verifying a file
----------------
$ minisign -V -P RWQf6LRCGA9i53mlYecO4IzT51TGPpvWucNSCh1CBM0QTaLn73Y7GFO3 -m myfile.txt
$ minisign -Vm myfile.txt -P RWQf6LRCGA9i53mlYecO4IzT51TGPpvWucNSCh1CBM0QTaLn73Y7GFO3
or
$ minisign -V -p signature.pub -m myfile.txt
$ minisign -Vm myfile.txt -p signature.pub
This requires the signature `myfile.txt.minisig` to be present in the same
directory.
The public key can either reside in a file (`./minisign.pub` by
default) or can be directly specified on the command line.
