DISLOCKER-FIND(1)

💖 DISLOCKER-FIND 💖

okay bestie, so this is the dislocker-find manual page — the little detective of the dislocker squad (that's section 1 of the manual, iykyk). It goes hunting for BitLocker-encrypted volumes and it is so good at it. ✨

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

dislocker-find [-h] [files...]

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The way this program works is genuinely iconic: it tries to find BitLocker-encrypted volumes, or — if you hand it files — it checks that the files you gave it are BitLocker-encrypted. Either way, no cap.

It prints every file it finds to be BitLocker-encrypted, one per line. And here's the cute part: every single file/line it spits out can be passed straight to the dislocker suite to be decrypted, using the -V option. Slay. 💅

---

✨ OPTIONS ✨

The program's options are described below, mwah:

• -h — print the help and exit. that's it, that's the vibe. 👑
• files — check for BitLocker-encrypted partitions among these files instead of trying to find them all by itself. like, you bring the suspects, it does the interrogation. 🕵️♀️

---

🌈 RETURN VALUES 🌈

• -1 means an error occurred 😭
• other numbers are the number of BitLocker-encrypted volumes found

So for example, 0 means no volume has been found, and 42 means 42 volumes have been found. yes, forty-two. the universe said so. 🫶

---

🎀 EXAMPLES 🎀

No volume is found automatically — the program returns 0 volume found (and the last line comes from the echo):

# dislocker-find.rb ; echo $?
No BitLocker volume found.
0

Two volumes are found — the program returns this number (last line, again, is the echo doing its thing):

# dislocker-find.rb ; echo $?
/dev/sda3
/dev/sda7
2
