# Rust Simple Text Cipher Machine
### About
It does precisely what the name indicates, i.e., encryption and decryption of files using the ChaCha20-Poly1305 authenticated streaming cipher algorithm. The program is still in its alpha (incomplete) stage.
### Build
* Have Cargo (Rust-langs' package manager) installed.
* `cargo build --release` to build. You will find the program binary in the `./target/release` directory.
### Usage
* `./rustcm-cli --help` prints the help message.
* `./rustcm-cli --version` prints the version information.
* `./rustcm-cli --encrypt <input-path> <output-path>` reads the input file, encrypts the data, and writes to the output file.
* `./rustcm-cli --decrypt <input-path> <output-path>` reads the input file, decrypts the data, and writes to the output file.
