.SH NAME
loop-aes-keygen
.
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B loop-aes-keygen
[
.I options
]
.I keyfile
.
.SH DESCRIPTION
Creates keys for loop-AES loopback encryption. 
.
.SH OPTIONS
.
.TP
.B \-v <1|2|3>
Key format (Default: 3).
.
.TP
.B \-c cipher
Encrypt using GnuPG cipher
.I cipher
.
.TP
.B \-u id
Encrypt using GnuPG pubkey
.I id
\&. Can be given more than once
(Default: Encrypt symmetrically with passphrase)
.
.TP
.B \-s device
Override random source (Default: /dev/random). 
.B Don't use this option unless you know what you are doing.
A bad source can silently create useless and trivially crackable keys. 
On the other hand, a known good source faster than /dev/random (eg. good
hardware RNG) can significantly speed up the key creation.
.
.SH EXAMPLES
.TP
Create key
$
.B loop-aes-keygen key.gpg
.TP
Create key for multiple users
$
.B loop-aes-keygen -u user1@$HOSTNAME -u \(dqUser 2\(dq key.gpg
.TP
Create blowfish encrypted key in loop-AES v2.x format
$
.B loop-aes-keygen -c BLOWFISH -v2 key.gpg
