TARSNAP-KEYGEN(1)					     TARSNAP-KEYGEN(1)

NAME
       tarsnap-keygen - generate a key file for use with tarsnap(1)

SYNOPSIS
       tarsnap-keygen --keyfile key-file --user user-name --machine machine-
       name [--passphrased] [--passphrase-mem maxmem]

DESCRIPTION
       tarsnap-keygen generates cryptographic keys, registers with the tarsnap
       server, and writes a key file for use with tarsnap(1).

       The --keyfile, --user, and --machine parameters are all required.

       If the --passphrased option is specified, the user will be prompted to
       enter a passphrase (twice) to be used to encrypt the key file.

       If the --passphrase-mem maxmem option is specified, a maximum of maxmem
       bytes of RAM will be used in the scrypt key derivation function to
       encrypt the key file; it may be necessary to set this option if a key
       file is being generated on a system with far more RAM than the system
       on which the key file will be used.
