NAME

6       cryptsetup-fvault2Dump - dump the header information of a FVAULT2
7       (FileVault2 compatible) device
8

SYNOPSIS

10       cryptsetup fvault2Dump [<options>] <device>
11

DESCRIPTION

13       Dump the header information of a FVAULT2 (FileVault2 compatible)
14       device.
15
16       If the --dump-volume-key option is used, the FVAULT2 device volume key
17       is dumped instead of header information. You have to provide password
18       or keyfile to dump volume key.
19
20       Beware that the volume key can be used to decrypt the data stored in
21       the container without a passphrase. This means that if the volume key
22       is compromised, the whole device has to be erased to prevent further
23       access. Use this option carefully.
24
25       <options> can be [--dump-volume-key, --volume-key-file, --key-file,
26       --keyfile-offset, --keyfile-size, --timeout].
27

OPTIONS

29       --key-file, -d name
30           Read the passphrase from file.
31
32           If the name given is "-", then the passphrase will be read from
33           stdin. In this case, reading will not stop at newline characters.
34
35           See section NOTES ON PASSPHRASE PROCESSING in cryptsetup(8) for
36           more information.
37
38       --keyfile-offset value
39           Skip value bytes at the beginning of the key file.
40
41       --keyfile-size, -l value
42           Read a maximum of value bytes from the key file. The default is to
43           read the whole file up to the compiled-in maximum that can be
44           queried with --help. Supplying more data than the compiled-in
45           maximum aborts the operation.
46
47           This option is useful to cut trailing newlines, for example. If
48           --keyfile-offset is also given, the size count starts after the
49           offset.
50
51       --volume-key-file, --master-key-file (OBSOLETE alias)
52           Use a volume key stored in a file. The volume key is stored in a
53           file instead of being printed out to standard output.
54
55       --dump-volume-key, --dump-master-key (OBSOLETE alias)
56           Print the volume key in the displayed information. Use with care,
57           as the volume key can be used to bypass the passphrases, see also
58           option --volume-key-file.
59
60       --timeout, -t <number of seconds>
61           The number of seconds to wait before timeout on passphrase input
62           via terminal. It is relevant every time a passphrase is asked. It
63           has no effect if used in conjunction with --key-file.
64
65           This option is useful when the system should not stall if the user
66           does not input a passphrase, e.g. during boot. The default is a
67           value of 0 seconds, which means to wait forever.
68
69       --batch-mode, -q
70           Suppresses all confirmation questions. Use with care!
71
72           If the --verify-passphrase option is not specified, this option
73           also switches off the passphrase verification.
74
75       --debug or --debug-json
76           Run in debug mode with full diagnostic logs. Debug output lines are
77           always prefixed by #.
78
79           If --debug-json is used, additional LUKS2 JSON data structures are
80           printed.
81
82       --version, -V
83           Show the program version.
84
85       --usage
86           Show short option help.
87
88       --help, -?
89           Show help text and default parameters.
