.SH DESCRIPTION
Tomb is a simple commandline tool for encrypted storage and it comes
complete with programs to facilitate its operation by desktop users.
Tomb is an application to manage the creation and access of encrypted
storage files: it can be operated from commandline, it integrates with
desktop managers and offers a simple graphical interface to facilitate
its operation by desktop users.
Tomb generates encrypted storage files to be opened and closed using
their associated keyfiles, which are also protected with a password
chosen by the user.
A tomb is like a locked folder that can be safely transported and
hidden in a filesystem; its keys can be kept separate, for instance
keeping the tomb file on your computer harddisk and the key files on a
USB stick.

When specified, \fIfile\fR is the name of the tomb to be created or
opened, while \fImountpoint\fR is an existing directory where its
contents should be made accessible.
When used from commandline, \fIfile\fR is the name of the tomb to be
created or opened, while \fImountpoint\fR is an existing directory
where its contents should be made accessible.

wizard that guides users in the creation of a new tomb or, if the
\fIfile\fR argument is specified, to open a tomb and make it
accessible in a default location under the /media folder.
The other commands \fItomb-status\fR and \fItomb-askpass\fR are mostly
