CRYPTDIR(1) General Commands Manual CRYPTDIR(1) 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. ATTRIBUTES See attributes(7) 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 precau- tionary measure. It would be a disaster to encrypt files with a pass- word 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.
