Question about syntax of a command

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

Hello,
In the hypothetical case I want to encrypt a file, using 3DES symmetric
algo, and without using asymmetric encryption (the file would just be
encrypted with 3DES and a password provided by the user), how would it
be the syntax I must enter? I read the manual, but got confused about
that...

Best Regards

gpg --cipher-algo 3des --symmetric <your-file-here>

gpg --cipher-algo 3DES --symmetric test.txt

hth,

Thanks, David (and Daniel), I was used to --command-option, and never
had to add a second command. Also, usually I rely on a GUI.
