CAESAR 6 ""
C 7
NAME
caesar - decrypt caesar cyphers
SYNOPSIS
caesar [ rotation ]
DESCRIPTION
The caesar utility attempts to decrypt caesar cyphers using letter frequency statistics. Caesar reads from the standard input and writes to the standard output.

The optional numerical argument rotation may be used to specify a specific rotation value. For example, "caesar 13" may be used to decrypt rotated postings to USENET as well as some of the databases used with the fortune program.
