# horcrux v0.3.4
**Split file into encrypted horcruxes, mergeable without key**
* Repo: https://github.com/pepa65/horcrux

* After https://github.com/jesseduffield/horcrux
* Install: `wget -qO- gobinaries.com/pepa65/horcrux |sh`
## Function
The program `horcrux` can split a file into a predefined number of horcruxes,
or merge a predefinable sufficient number of constituent horcruxes in a
directory back into the original file.
### Split
To split up a file into horcruxes, call `horcrux` with the filename and
optionally flags `-n`/`--num` with the number of desired horcruxes or
`-m`/`--min` followed by the minimum number of horcruxes needed to merge back
into the original file. Example:
`horcrux -n 5 -m 3 secret.txt`
The resulting horcruxes can be renamed, dispersed and later be used to put the
original file back together if only the minimum number is met.
### Merge
To merge horcruxes back into the original file, call `horcrux` in the
directory containing the horcruxes, or pass that directory as an argument:
`horcrux directory/with/horcruxes`
Only files ending in `.horcrux` will be taken into account. There should not be
any horcruxes in the directory that were produced at a different time or from a
different file!
### Query
To display information about a horcrux, call `horcrux` with the `-q`/`--query`
flag followed by the filename of the horcrux in question, like:
`horcrux -q file.horcrux`
