AGE-KEYGEN(1)		    General Commands Manual		 AGE-KEYGEN(1)

NAME
       age-keygen - generate age(1) key	pairs

SYNOPSIS
       age-keygen [-o OUTPUT]
       age-keygen -y [-o OUTPUT] [INPUT]

DESCRIPTION
       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.

OPTIONS
       -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 out-
	      put the corresponding recipient(s), one per line,	with  no  com-
	      ments.

       --version
	      Print the	version	and exit.

EXAMPLES
       Generate	a new identity:

	   $ age-keygen
	   # created: 2021-01-02T15:30:45+01:00
	   # public key: age1lvyvwawkr0mcnnnncaghunadrqkmuf9e6507x9y920xxpp866cnql7dp2z
	   AGE-SECRET-KEY-1N9JEPW6DWJ0ZQUDX63F5A03GX8QUW7PXDE39N8UYF82VZ9PC8UFS3M7XA9

       Write a new identity to key.txt:

	   $ age-keygen	-o key.txt
	   Public key: age1ql3z7hjy54pw3hyww5ayyfg7zqgvc7w3j2elw8zmrj2kg5sfn9aqmcac8p

       Convert an identity to a	recipient:

	   $ age-keygen	-y key.txt
	   age1ql3z7hjy54pw3hyww5ayyfg7zqgvc7w3j2elw8zmrj2kg5sfn9aqmcac8p
