tomb

Manage encrypted storage directories that can be safely transported and hidden in a filesystem.

More information.

• Create a new tomb with an initial size of 100 MB:

tomb dig -s {100} {encrypted_directory.tomb}

• Create a new key file that can be used to lock a tomb; user will be prompted for a password for the key:

tomb forge {encrypted_directory.tomb.key}

• Forcefully create a new key, even if the tomb isn't allowing key forging (due to swap):

tomb forge {encrypted_directory.tomb.key} -f

• Initialize and lock an empty tomb using a key made with `forge`:

tomb lock {encrypted_directory.tomb} -k {encrypted_directory.tomb.key}

• Mount a tomb (by default in `/media`) using its key, making it usable as a regular filesystem directory:

tomb open {encrypted_directory.tomb} -k {encrypted_directory.tomb.key}

• Close a tomb (fails if the tomb is being used by a process):

tomb close {encrypted_directory.tomb}

• Forcefully close all open tombs, killing any applications using them:

tomb slam all

• List all open tombs:

tomb list
