NAME

       Dislocker-file - Read BitLocker encrypted volumes under Linux, OSX and FreeBSD.

SYNOPSIS

       dislocker-file [-hqrsv] [-l LOG_FILE] [-O OFFSET] [-V VOLUME DECRYPTMETHOD -F[N]] [--] NTFS_FILE

       Where  DECRYPTMETHOD  =  {-p[RECOVERY_PASSWORD]  |  -f  BEK_FILE  | -u[USER_PASSWORD] | -k FVEK_FILE | -K
       VMK_FILE | -c}

DESCRIPTION

       Given a decryption mean, the program is used to decrypt BitLocker encrypted volumes.

       This process may take a very long time, depending on the initial volume size, as the program will decrypt
       the  encrypted  partition  linearly. About this size, note that the created NTFS file will be of the same
       size as the BitLocker encrypted partition, so you may want to check that you have enough  free  space  on
       the volume where you put the NTFS file.

       This  NTFS file won't have any link with the original BitLocker encrypted partition, so you may modify it
       to suit your needs.

OPTIONS

       For program's options description, see dislocker-fuse(1). The only change in the command line is the last
       argument, which in this case is the NTFS_FILE argument:

       NTFS_FILE
              the newly created file where NTFS data will be put to, once decrypted from the BitLocker encrypted
              volume.

EXAMPLES

       These are examples you can run directly.

       Dislock the BitLocker encrypted volume:

              %  dislocker-file  -V   /dev/sda2   -p563200-557084-108284-218900-019151-415437-694144-239976   --
              decrypted.ntfs

              This will decrypt /dev/sda2 into decrypted.ntfs using the recovery password method.

       To mount the partition once decrypted, use this sort of line:
              % mount -o loop decrypted.ntfs /mnt/clear

       --

       You may have to unmount the NTFS partition before halting the system. In order to do so, you may run this
       command (replacing your mount point):
              % umount /mnt/clear

       --

       Note that these are examples and, as such, you may need to modify the given command lines.  For  example,
       you may want to change the decryption method used in them.
