ecryptfs-add-passphrase(1)

💖 NAME 💖

ecryptfs-add-passphrase — bestie, this is the little cutie that drops an eCryptfs mount passphrase straight into the kernel keyring. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ecryptfs-add-passphrase [--fnek]

printf "%s" "passphrase" | ecryptfs-add-passphrase [--fnek] -

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

ecryptfs-add-passphrase is a utility that lets you manually add a passphrase to the kernel keyring. That's it, that's the whole job. She's a one-task queen and she ate. 💅

And if you pass the --fnek option, the filename encryption key that's associated with the input passphrase also gets added to the keyring. Two keys, one passphrase, no cap. ✨🔑
