## Usage
Let's say you want to find keys whose fingerprints begin with `C0FFEE` and store them `secret.asc`.
The regex for this is `^C0FFEE`. Now, simply use the following command to start the search:
Let's say you want to find keys whose fingerprints begin with `C0FFEE` and store them
at `secret.asc`. The regex for this is `^C0FFEE`. Now, simply use the following command to start
the search:
```sh
fingerprunk -r '^C0FFEE' >> secret.asc
fingerprunk -r '^C0FFEE' -u "Your Name <your.email@example.org>" >> secret.asc
```
Fingerprunk will now generate many keys and write out all keys with matching fingerprints to
standard output (here: `secret.asc`).
standard output (here: `secret.asc`), adding the provided user ID.
If you want Fingerprunk to output password-encrypted keys use the `-p` flag and you will be prompted
for a password.

On my machine with an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X processor, Fingerprunk is able to generate and check about
43500 keys per second. This means that for finding a fingerprint with a string of *n* specific
hexadecimal digits at a specific place, I could expect the following runtimes until finding the
first key:
