fs_crypto_enable_option()
QNX SDP8.0C Library ReferenceAPIDeveloper
Enable encryption support on a filesystem
Synopsis:
#include <fs_crypto_api.h>
#include <sys/fs_crypto.h>
int fs_crypto_enable_option( const char *path,
uint32_t option,
uint32_t domain,
int *preply );
Arguments:
- path
- The path to the filesystem's mountpoint.
- option
- The option to enable.
The only option currently defined is:
- FS_CRYPTO_ENABLE_WHOLE_DISK — encrypt the entire disk as one domain, specified by the domain argument. All plain-text files are assumed to have been tagged for migration. All plain-text files are hidden so that they can't be viewed or accessed.
- domain
- The domain (if required for the option).
- preply
- A pointer to a location where the function can store additional success or error information.

Description:
The fs_crypto_enable_option() function enables encryption support on a volume that wasn't set up for it at formatting time.
Note:
- In order to use filesystem encryption, download the Encrypted Filesystem package from the QNX Software Center.
- You must be in the group that owns the filesystem's mountpoint in order to enable encryption.
This function sets the variable pointed to by preply to one of the following values:
- FS_CRYPTO_REPLY_ALREADY
- Encryption was already enabled on the filesystem.
- FS_CRYPTO_REPLY_COMPLETE
- Encryption is now enabled on the filesystem.
- FS_CRYPTO_REPLY_INVALID
- The command wasn't completed successfully.
- FS_CRYPTO_REPLY_READONLY
- The filesystem is read-only.
- FS_CRYPTO_REPLY_UNKNOWN_DOMAIN
- The domain (if required by the option) doesn't exist.
Returns:
- EOK
- Success.
- EBADFSYS
- Corrupted filesystem detected.
- ENOTDIR
- The path isn't a directory.
- ENOTSUP
- The filesystem doesn't support encryption.
- EROFS
- The filesystem is mounted read-only.
This function can also return any of the errors indicated by devctl(), open64(), fstat64(), or fstatvfs64().
