Simple and de-facto way to encrypt files and directories in Linux (sopuli.xyz)

Namely, de-facto, or one of, in Linux. Mature. No GUI. Open-source and free.

What is it? GPG or anything else?

For a separate file(s), or directory(ies), and not for the entire disk or partition.

Sorry I'm not sure I understand what it is you think I'm missing. It's FOSS, works on Linux, has a CLI, works for both files and directories... please enlighten me what I got wrong?

It's got CLI too - alright. But is it any de-facto, mature, well-known, widely used? What gurantees that it's as secure as openssl or gpg? It might have plenty of bugs and vulnerabilies.
