tomb

Manage encrypted storage folders that can be safely transported and hidden in a filesystem.

  • Create a new tomb with an initial size of 100MB:

tomb dig -s {{100}} {{encrypted_folder.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_folder.tomb.key}}

  • Initialize and lock an empty tomb using a key made with forge:

tomb lock {{encrypted_folder.tomb}} -k {{encrypted_folder.tomb.key}}

  • Mount a tomb (by default in /media) using its key, making it usable as a regular filesystem folder:

tomb open {{encrypted_folder.tomb}} -k {{encrypted_folder.tomb.key}}

  • Close a tomb (fails if the tomb is being used by a process):

tomb close {{encrypted_folder.tomb}}

  • Forcefully close all open tombs, killing any applications using them:

tomb slam all

  • List all open tombs:

tomb list
