Subject: [PATCH 2/6] chattr.1: adjust documentation for encryption attribute
Date: Sun, 17 Nov 2019 17:48:48 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191118014852.390686-3-ebiggers@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20191118014852.390686-1-ebiggers@kernel.org>
From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers@google.com>
Adjust the documentation for the encryption attribute ('E') to clarify
that encryption isn't experimental anymore and isn't restricted to
regular files, and that the encryption is done by the filesystem.
