(1,2) You could use:
gpg2 --s2k-mode 3 --s2k-count 65011712 --s2k-digest-algo SHA512 --s2k-cipher-algo AES256 --symmetric /*file path*
According to The GNU Privacy Guard Manual, p. 71, we use --s2k-cipher-algo name when we want to apply symmetric encryption with a passphrase if --cipher-algo name or --personal-cipher-preferences string have not been set. ...
