NAME
cryptdir - encrypt/decrypt all files in a directory
SYNOPSIS
cryptdir [ dir ]
decryptdir [ dir ]
INTRODUCTION
cryptdir encrypts all files in the current directory (or the given
directory if one is provided as an argument). When called as decrypt-
dir (i.e., same program, different name), all files are decrypted.

NOTES
When encrypting, you are prompted twice for the password as a precau-
tionary measure. It would be a disaster to encrypt files a password
that wasn't what you intended.
In contrast, when decrypting, you are only prompted once. If it's the
wrong password, no harm done.
Encrypted files have the suffix .crypt appended. This prevents files
from being encrypted twice. The suffix is removed upon decryption.
Thus, you can easily add files to an encrypted directory and run crypt-
dir on it without worrying about the already encrypted files.
BUGS
The man page is longer than the program.
