🎀 NAME 🎀

luksdeinfo — bestie, this lil icon figures out all the deets about a Linux Unified Key Setup (LUKS) Disk Encryption volume 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

luksdeinfo [-k key] [-o offset] [-p password] [-huvV] source

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Okay so luksdeinfo is literally a whole utility whose entire job is ✨determining information✨ about a Linux Unified Key Setup (LUKS) Disk Encryption volume. That's it. That's the gig. No cap.

It's part of the libluksde package, and libluksde is the library that lets you access the Linux Unified Key Setup (LUKS) Disk Encryption format 🦋

source is the source file. That's the thing you're pointing it at. Yeah.

Here come the options, bestie, stay with me:

  • -h — shows this help. The classic "help me I'm lost" button 🫶
  • -k key — specify the volume master key formatted in base16 🔑
  • -o offset — specify the volume offset
  • -p password — specify the password 🤫
  • -u — unattended mode (disables user interaction). It's giving "don't talk to me, I'm working"
  • -v — verbose output to stderr. Spill the tea ☕
  • -V — print version 👑

🌸 ENVIRONMENT 🌸

None. Nothing. Nada. Empty. The environment is not the moment here 💀

🍓 FILES 🍓

None. Same energy. No files, no problems ✨

🌈 EXAMPLES 🌈

Here's a lil taste of what it looks like in the wild, bestie:

# luksdeinfo -p Password /dev/sda1
luksdeinfo 20130704

Linux Unified Key Setup Disk Encryption information:
        Encryption method:              AES 128-bit

Ate. Periodt. 💅

🧚 DIAGNOSTICS 🧚

Errors, verbose and debug output are printed to stderr when verbose output -v is enabled. Important caveat tho: verbose and debug output are only printed when enabled at compilation. So like, if you built it without that, it's not coming. Sorry bestie 😭
