Summary: A small C tool for Linux filesystem encryption
Description:
fscryptctl is a low-level tool written in C that handles raw keys and manages policies for Linux filesystem encryption, see [1], specifically the "fscrypt" kernel interface which is supported by the ext4, f2fs, UBIFS, and CephFS filesystems. fscryptctl is mainly intended for embedded systems which can't use the full-featured fscrypt tool, 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. Most users should use the fscrypt tool instead, which supports these features and generally is much easier to use. [1] https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/filesystems/fscrypt.html

- spec: Remove R:kernel. The kernel package does not need to be installed for this tool to work. Perhaps, if the tool is running, the kernel is already there. Also, the installed kernel is not necessarily the booted kernel. The Requires tag is not a commentary on which kernel is best for the tool. Therefore, a Requires tag was misused.
