14 | .SH INTRODUCTION | |
15 | .B cryptdir | |
16 | encrypts all files in the current directory (or the given directory | |
17 | if one is provided as an argument). When called as decryptdir | |
18 | (i.e., same program, different name), all files are decrypted. | |
19 | ||
20 | .SH NOTES | |
21 | When encrypting, you are prompted twice for the password as a | |
22 | precautionary measure. It would be a disaster to encrypt files a | |
23 | password that wasn't what you intended. | |
24 | ||
25 | In contrast, when decrypting, you are only prompted once. If it's the | |
26 | wrong password, no harm done. | |
27 | ||
28 | Encrypted files have the suffix .crypt appended. This prevents files | |
29 | from being encrypted twice. The suffix is removed upon decryption. | |
30 | Thus, you can easily add files to an encrypted directory and run | |
31 | cryptdir on it without worrying about the already encrypted files. | |
32 | .SH BUGS | |
33 | ||
34 | The man page is longer than the program. | |
