kawari 8.0 encoder/decoder

## NAME

kawari\_encode, kawari\_encode2, kawari\_decode2 — kawari 8.0 encoder/decoder

## SYNOPSIS

**kawari\_encode** \[*file* ...\]

**kawari\_encode2** \[*file* ...\]

**kawari\_decode2** \[*file* ...\]

## DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the  **kawari** command.

This manual page was written for the **Debian** distribution  because the original program does not have a manual page.  Instead, it has documentation written in HTML format. For detailed  descriptions, see **doc-base**.

**kawari\_encode** encodes kawari scripts to  an encoded file. So the users for the scripts cannot easily read the  content. It can be used to protect the content of Kawari scripts.  It takes several text files as inputs and converts them to   **.kaw** files  separately.

**kawari\_encode2** is an advanced  **kawari\_encode**. It is able to assign  a symmetric key like some encrypting systems. The key affects  the encoding system. Users need the key to decode them.

**kawari\_decode2** is a decoder of the  **.kaw** files. It takes several   **.kaw** files and convert them back to  **.txt** files. If the kaw files is   encoded by  **kawari\_encode2**, the key must be provided  correctly for decoding.
