# tomb
> Manage encrypted storage directories that can be safely transported and hidden in a filesystem.
> More information: <https://www.dyne.org/software/tomb/>.
- Create a new tomb with an initial size of 100MB:
`tomb dig -s {{100}} {{encrypted_directory.tomb}}`
- Create a new key file that can be used to lock a tomb; user will be prompted for a password for the key:
`tomb forge {{encrypted_directory.tomb.key}}`
- Forcefully create a new key, even if the tomb isn't allowing key forging (due to swap):
`tomb forge {{encrypted_directory.tomb.key}} -f`
- Initialize and lock an empty tomb using a key made with `forge`:
`tomb lock {{encrypted_directory.tomb}} -k {{encrypted_directory.tomb.key}}`
- Mount a tomb (by default in `/media`) using its key, making it usable as a regular filesystem directory:
`tomb open {{encrypted_directory.tomb}} -k {{encrypted_directory.tomb.key}}`
- Close a tomb (fails if the tomb is being used by a process):
`tomb close {{encrypted_directory.tomb}}`
- Forcefully close all open tombs, killing any applications using them:
`tomb slam all`
- List all open tombs:
`tomb list`
