Example

Recreating the example from BIP351:

# Generate Bob's Payment Code
$ privpay receiver code -t p2pkh -t p2wpkh
# <enter ff for seed hex>
pay1qqpsxq4730l4yre4lt3588eyt3f2lwggtfalvtgfns04a8smzkn7yys6xv2gs8

# Alice notifying Bob and deriving the first stealth address
$ privpay sender notify -r 0 -t p2wpkh pay1qqpsxq4730l4yre4lt3588eyt3f2lwggtfalvtgfns04a8smzkn7yys6xv2gs8
# <enter fe for seed hex>

privpay receiver decode -P 6a28505049cb55bb02e3217349724307eed5514b53b1f53f0802672a9913d9bbb76afecc86be23f46401

JSON Output

Running the previous example with the --json output flag produces more detailed output.
