NAME

gocryptfs - mount an encrypted directory

SYNOPSIS

Initialize encrypted filesystem

gocryptfs -init [OPTIONS] CIPHERDIR

Mount

gocryptfs [OPTIONS] CIPHERDIR MOUNTPOINT

Change password

gocryptfs -passwd [OPTIONS] CIPHERDIR

DESCRIPTION

Options:

-config string
Use specified config file instead of CIPHERDIR/gocryptfs.conf
-cpuprofile string
Write cpu profile to specified file
-debug
Enable debug output
-diriv
Use per-directory file name IV (default true)
-emenames
Use EME filename encryption (default true). This option implies diriv.
-extpass string
Use an external program (like ssh-askpass) for the password prompt. The program should return the password on stdout, a trailing newline is stripped by gocryptfs. Using something like "cat /mypassword.txt" allows to mount the gocryptfs filesytem without user interaction.
-f
Stay in the foreground instead of forking away.
-fusedebug
Enable fuse library debug output
-init
Initialize encrypted directory
-masterkey string
Mount with explicit master key specified on the command line. This option can be used to mount a gocryptfs filesystem without a config file. Note that the command line, and with it the master key, is visible to anybody on the machine who can execute "ps -auxwww".
-notifypid int
Send USR1 to the specified process after successful mount. This is used internally for daemonization.
-openssl bool
Use OpenSSL instead of built-in Go crypto (default true). Using built-in crypto is 4x slower.
-passwd
Change password
-plaintextnames
Do not encrypt file names
-q
Quiet - silence informational messages
-scryptn int
scrypt cost parameter logN. Setting this to a lower value speeds up mounting but makes the password susceptible to brute-force attacks (default 16)
-version
Print version and exit
-zerokey
Use all-zero dummy master key. This options is only intended for automated testing as it does not provide any security.
