## Installation

```

$ pip install steg

```

## Usage in Code

```

# Import library

from steg import steg_img

# Hiding

# Select your payload and carrier files

s = steg_img.IMG(payload_path=, image_path=)

# Create a new image containing your payload

s.hide()

# Extracting

# Select the carrier image

s_prime = steg_img.IMG(image_path=)

# Extract the payload

s_prime.extract()

```

## Commandline Usage

1. To hide a payload in an image:

```$ steg -c  -p ```

2. To extract a payload from a carrier:

```$ steg -c ```
