  • Create a new tomb with an initial size of 100 MB:
    tomb dig -s 100 encrypted_directory.tomb
  • Create a new key file that can be used to lock a tomb; user will be prompted for a password for the key:
    tomb forge encrypted_directory.tomb.key
  • Forcefully create a new key, even if the tomb isn't allowing key forging (due to swap):
    tomb forge encrypted_directory.tomb.key -f
  • Initialize and lock an empty tomb using a key made with `forge`:
    tomb lock encrypted_directory.tomb -k encrypted_directory.tomb.key
  • Mount a tomb (by default in `/media`) using its key, making it usable as a regular filesystem directory:
    tomb open encrypted_directory.tomb -k encrypted_directory.tomb.key
  • Close a tomb (fails if the tomb is being used by a process):
    tomb close encrypted_directory.tomb
  • Forcefully close all open tombs, killing any applications using them:
    tomb slam all
  • List all open tombs:
    tomb list
