CRYPTDIR(1)                          General Commands Manual                          CRYPTDIR(1)

NAME
       cryptdir - encrypt/decrypt all files in a directory

SYNOPSIS
       cryptdir [ dir ]
       decryptdir [ dir ]

INTRODUCTION
       cryptdir  encrypts  all  files  in the current directory (or the given directory if one is
       provided as an argument).  When called as decryptdir (i.e., same program, different name),
       all files are decrypted.

NOTES
       When  encrypting,  you are prompted twice for the password as a precautionary measure.  It
       would be a disaster to encrypt files with a password that wasn't what you intended.

       In contrast, when decrypting, you are only prompted once.  If it's the wrong password,  no
       harm done.

       Encrypted files have the suffix .crypt appended.  This prevents files from being encrypted
       twice.  The suffix is removed upon decryption.  Thus, you can easily add files to  an  en-
       crypted  directory  and  run  cryptdir  on it without worrying about the already encrypted
       files.

BUGS
       The man page is longer than the program.
