       open volume  : zuluCrypt-cli -o -d /dev/sdc1 -m sdc1 -e ro -p xxx
       close volume ; zuluCrypt-cli -q -d /dev/sdc1
       remove key   ; zuluCrypt-cli -r -d /dev/sdc1 -p xxx
       add key      : zuluCrypt-cli -a -d /dev/sdc1 -y xxx -l yyy
       get device path from mapper  : zuluCrypt-cli -P -d /dev/mapper/zuluCrypt-sdc1
       check if partition with UUID is present : zuluCrypt-cli -w -d UUID=

DESCRIPTION

       zuluCrypt  is  a  front end to cryptsetup. It aims to simplify using cryptsetup volumes by
       creating a simple to use command line interface and a  Qt  based  GUI  front  end  to  the
       command line.

       The command line program is called "zuluCrypt-cli", the Qt based GUI is called "zuluCrypt-
       gui".  The cli part of the program is an suid program to allow management of  the  volumes
       without setting up sudo with appropriate permissions first or requiring root's password.

       The GUI part of the program calls the cli part for its operations.

       This tool will create volumes only in non system partitions.

       System partition is a partition with an active entry in /etc/fstab and /etc/crypttab

USAGE

       usage: zuluCrypt-cli <operation> <options specific to the operation>
       operation list:
       -c         create an encrypted volume
       -o         open and encrypted volume
       -O         open an encrypted volume but do not mount it( -m therefore not needed )
       -q         close an opened encrypted volume
       -r         remove a key from luks volume
       -a         add a key to luks volume
       -i         check if a device contain a luks volume
       -s         check if a device is opened and print its properties if it is
       -b          show  status  of  each  slot of luks volume."0"=empty,"1"=occupied,"2"=invalid
       slot,"3"=last occupied
       -A         print the list of all partitions on the system
       -N         print a list of non system partitions on the system( partitions with no  active
       entries in /etc/fstab and /etc/crypttab
       -T         print a detailed list of mounted partitions.Must be used with -A or -S or -N
       -Z         print a detailed list of unmounted partitions.Must be used with -A or -S or -N
       -S         print a list of system partitions on the system( partitions with active entries
       in /etc/fstab and /etc/crypttab
       -w         check if UUID matches UUID of any partition
       -P         get device path from mapper( located at /dev/mapper )
       -L         print a list of all opened volumes  and  their  mount  point.The  list  is  not
       formatted
       -X          open  a  device pointed by argument -d and write random data to it hiding data
       previously written to device
       -W         check if a device is a truecrypt device or not,required argument are -p or -f
       -U         print UUID of a given device,required argument: -d
       -H         compare a header on a luks device to a backup header,required arg: -d and -f
       -M           create   a   publicly   accessible   "mirror"   of   the   mount   point   in
       "/run/media/public/" from the original created in "/run/media/private/$USER/"
       -J         create a plain mapper owned by the user who run the command on a device pointed
       by argument -d
       -B         create a luks or truecrypt header backup
       -R         restore a luks or truecrypt header on a device from backup
       NOTE
       A system partition is defined as a partition with an active  entry  in  /etc/fstab  and/or
       /etc/crypttab.
       An active entry is an entry that is not commented out.

       options that goes with above operations:
       -G         module name to use to get a passphrase to open a volume
       -e         mode for opening volumes(ro*/rw) when used with -o/-O. path to destination file
       when used with -E/-D
       -e         mode for managing a truecrypt header when used with -B/-R.Options can be  "fde"
       for volumes that use whole disk
                  encryption,"sys"  for  a  windows  system  volume.The volume is assumed to be a
       normal one when the option is not set.
       -k         do not ask for confirmation when doing dangerous operations
       -d         path to a file or partition with encrypted volume
       -m         path component to be added to mount  point  prefix(/run/media/private/$USER  or
       /home/$USER)
       -z          file  system  type  installed(ext2,ext3,ext4*  etc)  or  or luks/tcrypt header
       backup path
       -t         type of volume (vera,plain/luks*). "vera" is a necessary argument when  opening
       a VeraCrypt volume
       -g         options to be used when creating a volume.
                  default for luks are:   "/dev/urandom.aes.xts-plain64.256.sha1"
                  default for tcrypt are: "/dev/urandom.aes.xts-plain64.256.ripemd160"
                  possible   combination   for   tcrypt:   "/dev/urandom.serpent:twofish:aes.xts-
       plain64.256.whirlpool"
       -h         get passphrase interactively
       -p         passphrase
       -f         path to keyfile
       -F         path to normal truecrypt  multiple  keyfiles.Multiple  keyfiles  are  added  by
       setting the option multiple times.
       -V          path  to  hidden  truecrypt  multiple  keyfiles.Multiple keyfiles are added by
       setting the option multiple times.
       -y         passphrase already in the volume(required by -a if -u is absent and -h is  also
       absent)
       -u          path  to keyfile with passphrase already in the volume(required by -a if -y is
       absent and -h is also absent)
       -l         passphrase to be added(required by -a if -n is absent and -h is also absent)
       -n         path to keyfile with a passphrase to be added (required by -a if -l  is  absent
       and -h is also absent)
