-i, --input=name
    Optional input file. If not specified, input will be read from standard input.

-o, --output=name
    Optional output file. If not specified, output will be written to standard output.

-a, --encrypt-algo=name
    Encryption algorithm.

-k, --encrypt-key=name
    Encryption key.

-f, --encrypt-key-file=name
    File which contains encryption key.

-s, --encrypt-chunk-size=#
    Size of working buffer for encryption in bytes. The default value is 64K.

--encrypt-threads=#
    This option specifies the number of worker threads that will be used for parallel encryption/decryption.

-v, --verbose
