fscrypt: Lock an encrypted directory.
$ fscrypt lock ${path-to-encrypted_directory}
try on your machine
The command "fscrypt lock ${path-to-encrypted_directory}" is used to lock an encrypted directory using the fscrypt utility. Here's a breakdown of the command: - "fscrypt" refers to the fscrypt utility, a tool used for managing Linux filesystem encryption. - "lock" is the subcommand that instructs fscrypt to lock the specified directory. - "${path-to-encrypted_directory}" is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the directory you want to lock. When this command is executed, fscrypt will lock the specified encrypted directory, preventing any access to its contents without the necessary encryption key or passphrase. This can help ensure the security and privacy of the data stored in the directory.
