| 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. |
