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.
