27.Os
28.Sh NAME
29.Nm decryptcore
30.Nd "decrypt a core dump of the operating system"
31.Sh SYNOPSIS
32.Nm
33.Op Fl fLv
34.Fl p Ar privatekeyfile
35.Fl k Ar keyfile
36.Fl e Ar encryptedcore
37.Fl c Ar core
38.Nm
39.Op Fl fLv
40.Op Fl d Ar crashdir
41.Fl p Ar privatekeyfile
42.Fl n Ar dumpnr
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44The
45.Nm
46utility first decrypts
47.Ar keyfile
48using
49.Ar privatekeyfile
50and then uses the resulting key to decrypt
51.Ar encryptedcore
52saved by
53.Xr savecore 8 .
54The result is saved in
55.Ar core .
56.Pp
57Alternatively a user can decrypt a core dump numbered
58.Ar dumpnr
59from the
60.Ar crashdir
61directory.
62In this case a dump key from the
63.Pa key.#
64file is used and the result is saved in the
65.Pa vmcore.#
66file where
67.Dq #
68corresponds to
69.Ar dumpnr .
70.Pp
71By default
72.Nm
73does not overwrite an old core dump as a user might want to store the core
74somewhere else for the future.
75This behaviour can be changed using the
76.Fl f
77flag.
78.Pp
79The
80.Nm
81utility can be started with the following command line arguments:
82.Bl -tag -width ".Fl e Ar encryptedcore"
83.It Fl f
84Remove a decryped core dump if it already exists.
85.It Fl L
86Write log messages to
87.Xr syslogd 8 .
88.It Fl v
89Print or log verbose/debugging information.
90This option can be specified multiple times to raise the verbosity
91level.
92.It Fl p Ar privatekeyfile
93Specify location of a private key file which will be used to decrypt a dump key
94file.
95.It Fl k Ar keyfile
96Specify location of a dump key file.
97.It Fl e Ar encryptedcore
98Specify location of an encrypted core.
99.It Fl c Ar core
100Specify location of a resulting decrypted core dump.
101.It Fl d Ar crashdir
102Specify an alternative crash dump directory.
103The default crash dump directory is
104.Pa /var/crash .
105.It Fl n Ar dumpnr
106Specify a number of a crash dump to be decrypted.
