  Description : safely and securely encrypt and decrypt files from
cmdline

triops encrypts and decrypts files using CHACHA20 algorithm.
Files are overwritten by default, so no content in clear remains.
KECCAK hashes are used to create a password hint (it is not a
direct password hash! It is also unique per file) so it is not
possible to inadvertently decrypt a file with a wrong password.
The same file encrypted with the same password will produce
different encrypted outputs each time.

Interesting options are available:
* The password can be any text, or even any file (which will be
hashed).
* It is possible to use stdin and stdout for both clear
or encrypted content created by triops.
* The password hint "aid" can be eliminated.
* Multiple files can be indicated.

  Description : Show byte statistics as an ascii circle graph

bytes-circle is a program that shows statistics about bytes contained
in a file as an ascii circle graph of deviations from mean in sigma
increments.

By default, byte 0 is at the center of the circle and next bytes until 256
are situated counterclockwise around the center.

bytes-circle expects a colour terminal, though other options are available.

The ascii art produced uses this char array to represent increment
values of sigma from the statistic's mean:
   . , - ~ + * o O # @

This ranges from zero (.) on the left, to 9*sigma (@) on the right.
If value is zero or over the mean the char is printed green.
If it is below the mean, it's printed red. A (blue) '=' char
represents a byte value that doesn't appear in the file.

The program can be useful for statistically analyze the content of
files in a glimpse: text files are shown as a green centered crown,
compressed and encrypted files should be shown as equally distributed
variations with a very low CV (sigma/mean), and other types of files
can be classified between these two categories depending on their
ascii vs binary content, which can be useful to quickly determine how
information is stored inside them (redis db, mmedia files, etc).
Developers and data analysts could benefit from 'bytes-circle'.

Ok, I'm gonna fix all issues with this and related RFS #827487.
As the name will change to 'bytes-circle', should I issue another bug here
and in RFS, or do I continue with this? I'm not sure how to proceed now
with the change of name...
Thanks

ok, maybe bytes-circle...
That also means to change the name of the command,
or could I just change the name of the package?
thanks
