NAME

       ecryptfsd - user-space eCryptfs daemon.

DESCRIPTION

       ecryptfsd is a userspace daemon that runs as the user performing file operations under the eCryptfs mount
       point.  It  services  public  key  requests  from the eCryptfs kernel module; these requests are sent via
       /dev/ecryptfs on file open events. ecryptfsd only needs to be run when a mount is done with a public  key
       module.

       The  daemon can be started simply by running ecryptfsd. ecryptfsd will register itself with the kernel as
       the daemon that should service all eCryptfs filesystem requests done under the context of  the  user  who
       runs the daemon.
