tomb

linux

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

Examples (8)

Create a new tomb with an initial size of 100 MB

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

Forcefully create a new key, even if the tomb isn't allowing key forging (due to swap)

tomb forge encrypted_directory.tomb.key -f

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
