NAME
       e4crypt - ext4 filesystem encryption utility

SYNOPSIS
       e4crypt add_key -S [ -k keyring ] [-v] [-q] [  path ... ]
       e4crypt new_session
       e4crypt get_policy path ...
       e4crypt set_policy policy path ...

DESCRIPTION
       e4crypt performs encryption management for ext4 file systems.

COMMANDS
       e4crypt add_key -S [ -k keyring ] [-v] [-q] [  path ... ]
	      Prompts the user for a passphrase and inserts it into the speci‐
	      fied keyring.  If no keyring is specified, e4crypt will use  the
	      session  keyring	if it exists or the user session keyring if it
	      does not.

	      If one or more directory paths are specified, e4crypt  will  try
	      to  set  the  policy  of	those  directories to use the key just
	      entered by the user.

       e4crypt get_policy path ...
	      Print the policy for the directories specified  on  the  command
	      line.

       e4crypt new_session
	      Give  the	 invoking  process  (typically	a shell) a new session
	      keyring, discarding its old session keyring.

       e4crypt set_policy policy path ...
	      Sets the policy for the directories  specified  on  the  command
	      line.   All  directories must be empty to set the policy; if the
	      directory already has a policy established, e4crypt  will	 vali‐
	      date that the policy matches what was specified.	A policy is an
	      encryption key identifier consisting of 16  hexadecimal  charac‐
	      ters.
