Usage
-----
`nms` works on piped data. All ASCII and UTF-8 character sets should be
supported.
After the initial "encrypted" characters are displayed, `nms` will wait
for the user to press a key before it starts the decryption sequence.
`nms` works on piped data. Pipe any ASCII or UTF-8 characters to it and
enjoy the magic. In the below examples, I use a simple directory listing.
```
ls -l / | nms
ls -l / | nms -a // Set auto-decrypt flag
ls -l / | nms -f green // Set foreground color to green
ls -l / | nms -c // Clear screen
nms -v // Display version
ls -l | nms
ls -l | nms -a // Set auto-decrypt flag
ls -l | nms -f green // Set foreground color to green
ls -l | nms -c // Clear screen
nms -v // Display version
```
Note that by default, after the initial encrypted characters are displayed,
`nms` will wait for the user to press a key before initiating the decryption
sequence. This is how the decryption functionality is depicted in the movie.
#### Command Line Options
`-a`
This option sets the auto-decrypt flag. This will automatically start the
decryption sequence without a key press.
Set the auto-decrypt flag. This will automatically start the
decryption sequence without requiring a key press.
`-f color`
This option sets the foreground color of the decrypted text to the color
Set the foreground color of the decrypted text to the color
specified. Valid options are white, yellow, black, magenta, blue, green,
or red. This is blue by default.
`-c`
This option clears the screen prior to printing any output. Specifically,
Clear the screen prior to printing any output. Specifically,
it saves the state of the terminal (all current output), and restores it
once the effect is comlpeted. Note that when using this option, `nms` requires
the user to press a key before restoring the terminal.
