✨ vfdecrypt(1) ✨

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're talking about vfdecrypt — the icon, the moment, the whole entire vibe of the General Commands Manual, section 1 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

vfdecrypt — decrypt encrypted filevault disk images 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

vfdecrypt -i in-file -p password -o out-file

that's it. that's the whole summoning ritual. ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like, vfdecrypt (yes the name reads like "vile fault decrypt", we don't make the rules 💀) does exactly one thing and does it gorgeously: it decrypts encrypted Mac OS X disk image files.

and not just one format, no no. she supports both version 1 and version 2 of the non-documented proprietary format. non-documented?? proprietary?? lowkey iconic of her to just know. iykyk 🔥

💅 OPTIONS 💅

• -i — the path to your input file. usually an encrypted disk image. and it's also kosher to redirect from STDIN, so pipe away bestie 🍓
• -e — try to extract the key from the input file. sneak peek energy 👀
• -k — the alphanumeric key you wish to use to decrypt the disk file. keys?? alphanumeric?? very main character 🔑
• -p — the password you wish to use to decrypt the disk file. the secret. the lore. the passphrase 🎀
• -o — the output file. and yes, it's also kosher to redirect to STDOUT, so she can talk right back at you 🌈

🌟 SEE ALSO 🌟

• vfcrack(1) — her sibling, her partner in crime, the other half of the duo 💜
