This utility is intended to help eCryptfs recover data from their encrypted home or encrypted private partitions. It is useful to run this from a LiveISO or a recovery image. It must run under sudo or with root permission, in order to search the filesystem and perform the mounts.
The program can take a target encrypted directory on the command line.If unspecified, the utility will search the entire system looking for encrypted private directories, as configured by ecryptfs-setup-private.
If an encrypted directory and a wrapped-passphrase file are found, the user is prompted for the login (wrapping) passphrase, the keys are inserted into the keyring, and the data is decrypted and mounted.
