Description

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  decryptdir (i.e., same program, different name),
     all files are decrypted.



ATTRIBUTES
     See  attributes(5)  for  descriptions   of   the   following
     attributes:

     +---------------+------------------+
     |ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE  |
     +---------------+------------------+
     |Availability   | shell/expect     |
     +---------------+------------------+
     |Stability      | Uncommitted      |
     +---------------+------------------+
NOTES
     When  encrypting, you are prompted twice for the password as
     a precautionary measure.  It would be a disaster to  encrypt
     files with 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  pre-
     vents  files  from  being  encrypted  twice.   The suffix is
     removed upon decryption.  Thus, you can easily add files  to
     an encrypted directory and run cryptdir on it without worry-
     ing about the already encrypted files.

BUGS
     The man page is longer than the program.
