tomb: Close a tomb (fails if the tomb is being used by a process).
$ tomb close ${encrypted_directory-tomb}
try on your machine
The command "tomb close ${encrypted_directory-tomb}" is invoking the "close" function of the "tomb" command-line tool, with the argument being the value of the variable "${encrypted_directory-tomb}".
Here's a breakdown:
- "tomb" is a command-line tool used to create and manage encrypted directories on Linux systems.
- "close" is one of the commands supported by the "tomb" tool, used to close (and thus lock) an encrypted directory.
- "${encrypted_directory-tomb}" represents the variable placeholder for the name or path of the encrypted directory. The actual value will be substituted in its place when the command is executed.
To summarize, this command will attempt to lock (or close) the specified encrypted directory using the "tomb" command-line tool.
