💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay so lowkey, fvdemount is a utility to mount a FileVault Drive Encrypted (FVDE) volume. that's it, that's the job, and she does it flawlessly ✨

fvdemount is part of the libfvde package. libfvde is a library to acess the FileVault Drive Encryption (FVDE) format — yep, "acess", that's how it's spelled in the original, we're keeping it, it's canon 😭💀

sources — one or more source files or devices. plural! she can handle multiple, she's built different fr fr 🌈

The options are as follows, and yes, we're going through every single one, no skipping, periodt:

• -e plist_path — specify the path of the EncryptedRoot.plist.wipekey file 🗝️
• -h — shows this help 🙋‍♀️
• -k key — specify the volume master key formatted in base16 🔑
• -o offset — specify the volume offset 📏
• -p password — specify the password 🤫
• -r password — specify the recovery password 🚑
• -u — unattended mode (disables user interaction) 🤖 — she just does her thing, no talking
• -v — verbose output to stderr 📢
• -V — print version 🏷️
• -X extended_options — extended options to pass to sub system 🔌

⭐ EXAMPLES ⭐

here's the moment you've been waiting for, bestie, an actual example, showing off:

# fvdemount -p Password /dev/sda1
fvdemount 20121113

see how easy that was? iconic. 20121113 is the version output btw, not a date you need to decode 💖

---

🔥 DIAGNOSTICS 🔥

Errors, verbose and debug output are printed to stderr when verbose output -v is enabled.

⚠️ and listen — verbose and debug output are only printed when enabled at compilation. so if you flip -v and get nothing extra, it's not you, it's the build 💀
