tomb

Manage encrypted storage directories that can be safely transported and hidden in a filesystem.

• Create a new tomb with an initial size of 100MB:

tomb dig -s {{100}} {{encrypted_directory.tomb}}

• Create a new key file that can be used to lock a tomb; user will be prompted for a password for the key:

tomb forge {{encrypted_directory.tomb.key}}

• Initialize and lock an empty tomb using a key made with forge:

tomb lock {{encrypted_directory.tomb}} -k {{encrypted_directory.tomb.key}}

• Mount a tomb (by default in /media) using its key, making it usable as a regular filesystem directory:

tomb open {{encrypted_directory.tomb}} -k {{encrypted_directory.tomb.key}}

• Close a tomb (fails if the tomb is being used by a process):

tomb close {{encrypted_directory.tomb}}

• Forcefully close all open tombs, killing any applications using them:

tomb slam all

• List all open tombs:

tomb list
