gocryptfs: Make an encrypted snapshot of a plain directory.
$ gocryptfs --reverse ${path-to-plain_dir} ${path-to-cipher_dir}
try on your machine
The command "gocryptfs --reverse ${path-to-plain_dir} ${path-to-cipher_dir}" is used to create an encrypted folder or directory using the tool "gocryptfs" in reverse mode.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "gocryptfs" is the name of the tool that is being executed.
- "--reverse" is an option provided to the tool, indicating that it should work in reverse mode. In this mode, the tool will create an encrypted view of the plain directory instead of creating an encrypted directory.
- "${path-to-plain_dir}" is the path to the directory that you want to encrypt. This is the directory that will be used as the source for creating the encrypted version.
- "${path-to-cipher_dir}" is the path to the directory where the encrypted version will be created. This is the directory where the encrypted files will be stored.
In summary, this command allows you to create an encrypted version of a directory using the "gocryptfs" tool in reverse mode, where the original directory serves as the source for encryption and the specified cipher directory will contain the encrypted files.
