💅 ecryptfs-umount-private — the manual page, bestie edition

okay so you're in the ecryptfs-umount-private(1) manual, part of the eCryptfs fam, and honestly? this one's short and sweet. a lil snack. let's go ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ecryptfs-umount-private — the eCryptfs private unmount wrapper script. that's it, that's the whole vibe. 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ecryptfs-umount-private

no flags. no args. no drama. she takes nothing and she gives everything. 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so ecryptfs-umount-private is a wrapper script for the umount.ecryptfs_private utility. she's not doing the heavy lifting herself — she's the bestie who hands the aux cord to the right person. 🫶

and what does she do? two things, and they're both iconic:

  • she unmounts your private directory 🌈
  • and she clears any associated keys from your kernel keyring 🔑

that's the whole thing. private dir unmounted, keys yeeted from the keyring. clean. no cap. 💅

bestie pls note: this is the *un*mount direction. if you were looking to go the other way, you're in the wrong manual, but don't worry, i got you — see below 👇
