<recipient> ...
The utility allows you to encrypt data with a password or a combination of public key + recipient-id.
recipient-id is an identifier which will be associated with the public key. If a sender has a Virgil Card, his recipient-id is the Card's id. Public key is saved in the Card.
Please note that you will need a provided password or a provided combination of private key + recipient-id for decryption.
-i <file>, --in <file>
Data to be encrypted. If omitted, stdin is used.
-o <file>, --out <file>

-c <file>, --content-info <file>
Content info - meta information about encrypted data. If omitted,
becomes a part of the encrypted data.

Card identifier;
* if vcard, then <value> - recipient's the Virgil Card file
stored locally;
* if email, then <value> - recipient's email;
* if pubkey, then <value> - recipient's public key + identifier, for example:
pubkey:bob/public.key:ForBob.
* if private, then set type:value for searching Private Virgil
Card(s) with confirmed identity (see 'virgil card-create-private').
For example: private:<obfuscated_type>:<obfuscated_value> ( obfiscator - see 'virgil hash')
