Stable CLI ABI
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
If you want to call gocryptfs from your script or app, this is the
|
|
stable ABI.
|
|
|
|
General
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
1. A password is piped into gocryptfs with an optional terminating
|
|
newline. Any unexpected data after the final newline will
|
|
cause gocryptfs to abort.
|
|
2. Always pass "--" after the options. This prevents a CIPERDIR that
|
|
starts with a dash ("-") to wreak havoc.
|
|
3. Use "-q" to get rid of all informational messages. Only error
|
|
messages (if any) will be printed to stderr (capture it!).
|
|
4. Check the exit code of gocryptfs. 0 is success, anything else is an
|
|
error and details about that error will have been printed to stderr.
|
|
|
|

|
|
2. Optional newline
