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

tomb

$ tomb dig -s ${100} ${encrypted_directory-tomb}

The command "tomb dig -s ${100} ${encrypted_directory-tomb}" is likely a command used in the Tomb encryption software. Here is the breakdown of each component:

"tomb": Tomb is an open-source tool used for creating encrypted volumes or "tomb"s on a file system.
"dig": "dig" is a command within Tomb that is used to open an encrypted tomb and mount it so that it becomes accessible.
"-s ${100}": The "-s" flag is an argument used with the "dig" command, and here it is followed by "${100}". This likely indicates that the size of the tomb being created should be 100 MB (megabytes). The "${100}" is a placeholder variable that would be replaced with the actual value when running the command.
"${encrypted_directory-tomb}": This specifies the path or directory to the tomb file that needs to be opened and mounted. The variable "${encrypted_directory-tomb}" would be replaced with the actual path or directory when executing the command.

In summary, the given command is asking the Tomb software to dig or open a tomb (encrypted volume) of size 100 MB located at the specified directory.
