💅 luksdemount — bestie's guide to unmounting your LUKS volume

okay so this one's a LOCAL manual page, section 1, and it's all about luksdemount. yes she's giving "why are you mounting when the name says DEMOUNT" and honestly? same. but the page says what the page says, so here we go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

luksdemount — mounts a Linux Unified Key Setup (LUKS) Disk Encryption volume

like. iconic of the name to be lying to us. but that is LITERALLY what the description says and I am not about to gaslight you 💀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

luksdemount [-k key] [-o offset] [-p password] [-X extended_options]
            [-huvV] source

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

luksdemount is a utility to mount a Linux Unified Key Setup (LUKS) Disk Encryption volume. periodt.

she's part of the libluksde package, and libluksde is a library to access the Linux Unified Key Setup (LUKS) Disk Encryption format. so like, whole family of LUKS-related girlies. we love a nepo baby that actually delivers ✨

source is the source file. that's the whole vibe of it.

🎀 The options, as follows 🎀

  • -h — shows this help. your lil "help me bestie" button 🙈
  • -k key — specify the volume master key formatted in base16. hex girlies rise 👑
  • -o offset — specify the volume offset. for when the good stuff is not at byte zero 💅
  • -p password — specify the password. say it with your chest (or a flag) 🔥
  • -u — unattended mode, which disables user interaction. no chatting, no prompting, just vibes and execution
  • -v — verbose output to stderr. she is NOT being quiet about it
  • -V — print version. cute little check-in 🌈
  • -X extended_options — extended options to pass to sub system. mystery little extras, handed off to somebody else 🦋

🧚 ENVIRONMENT 🧚

None. nothing. zero env vars. empty agenda. she's unbothered 💜

🌸 FILES 🌸

None. same energy. no files touched on the record 📁🚫

⭐ EXAMPLES ⭐

here's the one she's giving us:

# luksdemount -p Password /dev/sda1
luksdemount 20130704

so like, password Password (yes really), target /dev/sda1, and the version string it spits out is luksdemount 20130704. slay. ate. no crumbs.

😭 DIAGNOSTICS 😭

Errors, verbose and debug output are printed to stderr when verbose output -v is enabled. but ALSO — and this is the lowkey unhinged part — verbose and debug output are only printed when enabled at compilation. so like, the vibes were baked in at build time bestie. no cap 🫠
