29.Os
30.Sh NAME
31.Nm decryptcore
32.Nd "decrypt a core dump of the operating system"
33.Sh SYNOPSIS
34.Nm
35.Op Fl fLv
36.Fl p Ar privatekeyfile
37.Fl k Ar keyfile
38.Fl e Ar encryptedcore
39.Fl c Ar core
40.Nm
41.Op Fl fLv
42.Op Fl d Ar crashdir
43.Fl p Ar privatekeyfile
44.Fl n Ar dumpnr
45.Sh DESCRIPTION
46The
47.Nm
48utility first decrypts
49.Ar keyfile
50using
51.Ar privatekeyfile
52and then uses the resulting key to decrypt
53.Ar encryptedcore
54saved by
55.Xr savecore 8 .
56The result is saved in
57.Ar core .
58.Pp
59Alternatively a user can decrypt a core dump numbered
60.Ar dumpnr
61from the
62.Ar crashdir
63directory.
64In this case a dump key from the
65.Pa key.#
66file is used and the result is saved in the
67.Pa vmcore.#
68file where
69.Dq #
70corresponds to
71.Ar dumpnr .
72.Pp
73By default
74.Nm
75does not overwrite an old core dump as a user might want to store the core
76somewhere else for the future.
77This behaviour can be changed using the
78.Fl f
79flag.
80.Pp
81The
82.Nm
83utility can be started with the following command line arguments:
84.Bl -tag -width ".Fl e Ar encryptedcore"
85.It Fl f
86Remove a decryped core dump if it already exists.
87.It Fl L
88Write log messages to
89.Xr syslogd 8 .
90.It Fl v
91Print or log verbose/debugging information.
92This option can be specified multiple times to raise the verbosity
93level.
94.It Fl p Ar privatekeyfile
95Specify location of a private key file which will be used to decrypt a dump key
96file.
97.It Fl k Ar keyfile
98Specify location of a dump key file.
99.It Fl e Ar encryptedcore
100Specify location of an encrypted core.
101.It Fl c Ar core
102Specify location of a resulting decrypted core dump.
103.It Fl d Ar crashdir
104Specify an alternative crash dump directory.
105The default crash dump directory is
106.Pa /var/crash .
107.It Fl n Ar dumpnr
108Specify a number of a crash dump to be decrypted.
