ROT13(1) GregOS Manual ROT13(1) NAME rot13 - rotate ASCII letters by 13 positions SYNOPSIS rot13 DESCRIPTION rot13 applies the ROT13 substitution cipher to the input text. Each letter is replaced by the letter 13 positions after it in the alphabet, wrapping around from z to a. Non-alphabetic characters are passed through unchanged. ROT13 is its own inverse: applying it twice returns the original text. It is not encryption. It is not even close to encryption. Do not use this for anything important.
