 ### Encryption
 
 doby first derives your password with Argon2 (version 19) in Argon2id mode with a 64 bytes long random salt. A `master_key` of 32 bytes is thus generated.

+# NAME
+doby - Simple, secure and lightweight symmetric encryption from the command line
+
+# SYNOPSIS
+doby [**-fi**] [**\--password** password] [**-t** time_cost] [**-m** memory_cost] [**-p** parallelism] [**-b** block_size] [**-c**] {aes | xchacha20} [INPUT] [OUTPUT]
+
+doby [**-h** | **\--help**]
+
+doby [**-V** | **\--version**]
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+doby aims to be a small, fast and user-friendly command line tool for symmectric encryption of single files. It uses modern cryptography and (obviously) it's built in rust.
+
+doby can operate with files larger than memory but also from stdout/stdin. In addition to encrypt files, doby also use HMAC cryptography to authenticate the data. This means that encrypted files can't be tampered. Encryptions keys are derived from the user password using Argon2, an expensive KDF function that slows down a lot brute force attacks. You can find more details about cryptography on the doby's repository: https://forge.chapril.org/hardcoresushi/doby#cryptographic-details
+
+doby will add a header at the beginning of the encrypted files so that it can know whether it is encrypted or not. That's why you don't need to specify which operation should be performed. doby will detect this automatically.
+
+# OPTIONS
+**-h**, **\--help**
+: Print help.
+
+**-V**, **\--version**
+: Print doby version.
+
+**-f**, **\--force-encrypt**
+: Perform encryption even if doby format is recognized in the input file.
+
+**-i**, **\--interactive**
+: Prompt before overwriting the output file if it already exists.
+
+**\--password** *password*
+: Specify the password which will be used to derive encryption keys. If omitted, the password will be prompted in the terminal.
+
+**-t**, **\--time-cost** *iterations*
+: Argon2 time cost used to derive the master key. Default: 10
+
+**-m**, **\--memory-cost** *memory size*
+: Argon2 memory cost used to derive the master key (in kilobytes). Default: 4096 KB
+
+**-p,** **\--parallelism** *threads*
+: Argon2 parallelism cost used to derive the master key. Default: 4
+
+**-b,** **\--block-size** *blocksize*
+: Size of the buffer used when reading the file (in bytes). Default: 65536 B
+
+**-c,** **\--cipher** *cipher*
+: Encryption cipher to use. Either "aes" or "xchacha20". If not specified, AES will be used if your CPU supports AES native instructions, XChaCha20 otherwise. Ignored when performing decryption.
+
+**INPUT**
+: The file doby will read as input. If it's omitted or set to "-", doby will read from stdin.
+
+**OUTPUT**
+: The file doby will write to. If it's omitted or set to "-", doby will write to stdout.
+
+# EXAMPLES
+doby my-super-secret-source-code.rs encrypted.doby
+
+doby \--block-size 4096 encrypted.doby decrypted.rs
+
+cat my-super-secret-music.flac | doby \--cipher xchacha20 > encrypted.doby
+
+doby \--password "rockyou" encrypted.doby > decrypted.flac
+
+cat my-super-secret-logs-file.log | doby \--interactive - logs.doby
+
+echo "you-will-never-break-this" | doby \--memory-cost 524288 \--parallelism 16 \--time-cost 40 > my-super-secret-data.doby
