Folder content :

If you try

You will get the following error :

Because a destination file already exists.

Use the --overwrite flag to overwrite the destination file.

Enter encryption mode, the specified file will be encrypted.

Original file :

cow-encryptor --encrypt secret.txt

Result :

Encryption mode will be used by default if the file doens't have the .cow extension.

Enter decription mode, the specified file will be decrypted.

Encrypted file :

cow-encryptor [--decrypt] secret.txt.cow

The decryption mode will automatically be used if the file ends with .cow

With this option, the encrypted/decrypted file will be printed to the standard output instead if saving it to a file.
