DECRYPTCORE(8)		    System Manager's Manual		DECRYPTCORE(8)

NAME
       decryptcore -- decrypt a	core dump of the operating system

SYNOPSIS
       decryptcore  [-fLv]  -p	privatekeyfile	-k keyfile -e encryptedcore -c
		   core
       decryptcore [-fLv] [-d crashdir]	-p privatekeyfile -n dumpnr

DESCRIPTION
       The decryptcore utility first decrypts keyfile using privatekeyfile and
       then  uses  the	resulting  key	to  decrypt  encryptedcore  saved   by
       savecore(8).  The result	is saved in core.

       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  be-
       haviour 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 op-
			 tion 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 de-
			 fault crash dump directory is /var/crash.

       -n dumpnr	 Specify a number of a crash dump to be	decrypted.

EXIT STATUS
       The decryptcore utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an	error occurs.
