Manual: `F0af`_`[The rnid Utility ↗`a8d24177d946de4f1f0a0fe1af9a1338:/page/blob.mu`g=reticulum|r=reticulum|ref=HEAD|path=docs/markdown/using.md|anchor=the-rnid-utility]`_`f

`!rnid`! is a utility bundled with `F0af`_`[RNS`:/page/wiki.mu`path=RNS]`_`f that lets you manage Reticulum `F0af`_`[identities`:/page/wiki.mu`path=Identity]`_`f, calculate `F0af`_`[destination`:/page/wiki.mu`path=Destination]`_`f hashes, assymetrically encrypt and decrypt files and information, and create and verify cryptographic signatures.

>>Usage

To generate a new identity, written to the specified file:

`B100`F9d9rnid --generate `*<new identity file>`*`f`b

To view information about an identity:

`B100`F9d9rnid --identity `*<hash/file>`* --print-identity`f`b

To encrypt a file for the specified identity/destination:

`B100`F9d9rnid --identity `*<hash/file>`* --encrypt foo.txt`f`b

The encrypted file will have `B100`F9d9.rfe`f`b appended to its filename.

To decrypt a file encrypted for the specified identity/destination:

`B100`F9d9rnid --identity `*<hash/file>`* --decrypt foo.txt.rfe`f`b

To announce a destination based on the specified identity and aspect:

`B100`F9d9rnid --identity `*<hash/file>`* --announce `*<aspects>`*`f`b

To view a destination hash for aspects for the specified identity:

`B100`F9d9rnid --identity `*<hash/file>`* --hash `*<aspects>`*`f`b

The `B100`F9d9--identity`f`b option accepts an `F0af`_`[identity hash`:/page/wiki.mu`path=Identity|anchor=hash]`_`f, the path to an `F0af`_`[identity file`:/page/wiki.mu`path=Identity|anchor=file]`_`f or a `F0af`_`[destination hash`:/page/wiki.mu`path=Destination|anchor=hash]`_`f. If a destination hash is provided, its identity will be used if already known. If it is not known, it can be fetched from the network with the `B100`F9d9--request`f`b option.

For more, see `B100`F9d9rnid --help`f`b.
