   7 gpgdir is a perl script that uses the CPAN GnuPG::Interface perl module to
   8 encrypt and decrypt directories using a gpg key specified in ~/.gpgdirrc.
   9 Gpgdir recursively descends through a directory in order to make sure it
  10 encrypts or decrypts every file in a directory and all of its subdirectories.
  11 By default the mtime and atime values of all files will be preserved upon
  12 encryption and decryption (this can be disabled with the --no-preserve-times
  13 option).  Note that in --encrypt mode, gpgdir will delete the original files
  14 that it successfully encrypts (unless the --no-delete option is given).
  15 However, upon startup gpgdir first asks for the decryption password to be
  16 sure that a dummy file can successfully be encrypted and decrypted.  The
  17 initial test can be disabled with the --skip-test option so that a directory
  18 can easily be encrypted without having to also specify a password (this is
  19 consistent with gpg behavior).  Also, note that gpgdir is careful not encrypt
  20 hidden files and directories.  After all, you probably don't want your
  21 ~/.gnupg directory or ~/.bashrc file to be encrypted.
