ecryptfs-find(1)

💖 ecryptfs-find — the inode matchmaker 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to ecryptfs-find, part of the eCryptfs family of manual pages. this little icon literally exists to play matchmaker between your encrypted filenames and their decrypted selves. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ecryptfs-find — use inode numbers to match encrypted/decrypted filenames 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

ecryptfs-find cleartext-filename ecryptfs-find
ECRYPTFS_FNEK_ENCRYPTED.fwBGx18a.UcYl18CF7VKLMSDuEadV

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so here's the tea: this program will attempt to match encrypted filenames to their decrypted counterpart, and it will also attempt to match decrypted filenames to their encrypted counterpart. it goes both ways, it's giving equal-opportunity matchmaking. 💖

Notes, bestie, pls read these: 📝

• the eCryptfs filesystem must be mounted in order to work. like, it's not optional. no mount, no matchmaking, periodt.
• it uses ls(1) in order to determine the inode 👀
• it uses find(1) in order to locate the inode 🔍

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

• find(1)
• ls(1)
