✨ ecryptfs-verify ✨

okay bestie, welcome to ecryptfs-verify from the eCryptfs crew 💖 this lil cutie is your vibe-check tool for eCryptfs setups — it looks at an encrypted home or an encrypted private directory and goes "yeah that's valid" or "girl… no" 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

ecryptfs-verify — literally validates an eCryptfs encrypted home or encrypted private configuration 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

ecryptfs-verify [-h|--home] [-p|--private] [-e|--filenames-encrypted]
[-n|--filenames-not-encrypted] [-u|--user USER] [--help]

👑 OPTIONS 👑

  • -h, --home — true if HOME is correctly configured for encryption, false otherwise 🏠✨
  • -p, --private — true if a non-HOME directory is correctly configured for encryption, false otherwise 🗂️💖
  • -e, --filenames-encrypted — true if filenames are set for encryption, false otherwise 🔒
  • -n, --filenames-not-encrypted — true if filenames are not encrypted, false otherwise 🙈
  • -u, --user USER — by default it checks the current user's configuration; override that with this option 🧚
  • --help — this usage information 📖

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

okay so the thing you have to internalise: options are additive. they stack, they team up, they're a group chat not a solo DM 😭

ALL checks must pass in order for this program to exit 0. Any failing check will cause this program to exit non-zero. 💀

so like. every single check you asked for has to come back slay, or the whole thing flops. no partial credit, no "but most of them passed". periodt. 👑
