Does eyaml CLI have options to specify the private/public key paths?

[Larry Fast]

The default value for the private key path in the eyaml CLI is ./keys/private_key.pkcs7.pem.  Is there an CLI option to override the default?

yep :)

$ eyaml --help

Hiera-eyaml is a backend for Hiera which provides OpenSSL encryption/decryption for Hiera properties

  eyaml -e -s some-string   # encrypt a string

  eyaml -e -p               # encrypt a password 

  eyaml -e -f file.txt      # encrypt a file

  cat file.txt | eyaml -e   # encrypt a file on a pipe

Options:  

             --createkeys, -c:   Create public and private keys for use encrypting properties

                --decrypt, -d:   Decrypt something

                --encrypt, -e:   Encrypt something

               --edit, -i <s>:   Decrypt, Edit, and Reencrypt

Thanks James.  --help should have been blindingly obvious but it slipped my flu infested mind.  Cheers!

And now I see why I hadn't found --help helpful.  In 2.0.0 eyaml --help does not give a dump of options.  You have to run eyaml <cmd> --help to see a list of options for that command.  Don't know if that's good or bad.  IMO it would be nice to see more information in top level help.
