that's it. that's the whole call. give her the mount point and she goes 💅

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so basically, umount.ecryptfs is an eCryptfs umount helper. and the way that she's not just a regular umount — she will also unlink keys from the keyring. like, she does the unmounting and she tidies up the keyring on her way out. main character energy fr fr ✨🗝️
