# gem 

(GnuPG encryption module)

third-party module used: gnupg

linux program used: gpg




**gem** provides easy encryption to a default or explicit public key. It can be used 

1. as a Linux CLI tool

2. as a Python module




**gem** as a Linux CLI tool

    

    gem "cleartext" [pub_key_file_name] [pub_key_file_path]




**gem** accepts piped string input

    echo "Hello" | gem




    

**gem** as a Python module

    import gem

    encrypted_str = gem.main(clear_text, 

                             pubkey_file_name='pubkey.asc', 

                             pubkey_file_path='/path/to/pubkey/')

   (rename or copy the file `gem` to `gem.py` before importing)


    

When executed with no arguments or piped input, **gem** takes input from the keyboard

    gem

    

(end keyboard input with CTRL-D)




# cle 

(clipboard encryption)

(needs xclip to be installed on linux)




**cle** encrypts the clipboard content in place

    cle

    

(custom keyboard shortcut execution recommended)
