My favourite part of these tools is the zany use of numbered file descriptors. `keypair` outputs the public key on fd 5 and secret key on fd 9. But signing reads the secret key on fd 8, while verification reads the public key on fd 4! Why aren't they the same?? I have to read the manpage every time.
