NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

Alternatively a user can decrypt a core dump numbered dumpnr from the crashdir directory. In this case a dump key from the key.# file is used and the result is saved in the vmcore.# file where “#” corresponds to dumpnr.

By default decryptcore does not overwrite an old core dump as a user might want to store the core somewhere else for the future. This behaviour can be changed using the -f flag.

The decryptcore utility can be started with the following command line arguments:

-f

Remove a decryped core dump if it already exists.

-L

Write log messages to syslogd(8).

-v

Print or log verbose/debugging information. This option can be specified multiple times to raise the verbosity level.

-p privatekeyfile

Specify location of a private key file which will be used to decrypt a dump key file.

-k keyfile

Specify location of a dump key file.

-e encryptedcore

Specify location of an encrypted core.

-c core

Specify location of a resulting decrypted core dump.

-d crashdir

Specify an alternative crash dump directory. The default crash dump directory is /var/crash.

-n dumpnr

Specify a number of a crash dump to be decrypted.
