DESCRIPTION

The command is a command line interface for hiera-eyaml. It is used to create keys, encrypt and decrypt data, and act as a wrapper around a text editor.

EXAMPLES

encrypting data

$ eyaml encrypt --string 'foo bar'

Encrypts the command line argument to "--string", and outputs the encrypted data on two formats, line and block. This can be included in an .eyaml file. The "eyaml" command expects keys to be present in the "./keys/" directory by default.

using the editor wrapper

$ eyaml edit hieradata/common.eyaml

Decrypts the file into a temporary file, and opens the file in a text editor. Values to be encrypted are wrapped in markup. When the file is saved, any changed values are encrypted.
