Summary: A low-level tool for the management of Linux kernel filesystem encryption
Description: 
Fscryptctl is a low-level tool written in C that handles raw keys and manages
policies for Linux filesystem encryption, see
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/filesystems/fscrypt.html ,
specifically the "fscrypt" kernel interface which is supported by the ext4,
f2fs, and UBIFS filesystems.

Fscryptctl is mainly intended for embedded systems which can't use the
full-featured fscrypt tool (https://github.com/google/fscrypt), or for
testing or experimenting with the kernel interface to Linux filesystem
encryption. Fscryptctl does *not* handle key generation, key stretching, key
wrapping, or PAM integration.
