fstrim is a command-line utility that is used to discard (or “trim”) unused blocks on a mounted file system. It is commonly used to reclaim space on solid-state drives (SSDs) and other types of flash-based storage devices. When a file is deleted on a file system, the space it occupied is not immediately reclaimed. Instead, […]

fscrypt is a Go-based command-line tool for managing Linux filesystem encryption. It is designed to make it easy for users to encrypt and decrypt directories on a Linux system. It uses the kernel’s in-built filesystem encryption feature called “eCryptfs” to perform the encryption and decryption operations. With fscrypt, users can encrypt and decrypt directories and […]

fprintd-verify is a command-line tool used to verify fingerprints against the database of fingerprints stored on a system. The fingerprints are typically stored in a secure location, such as the system’s Trusted Platform Module (TPM) or a security chip, to ensure their integrity and confidentiality. When a user attempts to verify their fingerprint, the system […]

fprintd-list is a command-line tool that is used to list the fingerprints that are currently enrolled in the system’s fingerprint database. The fingerprints are listed by the username associated with the fingerprint and the device name. When you run the fprintd-list command, it will display a list of all fingerprints that have been enrolled in […]

fprintd-enroll is a command-line tool that is used to enroll fingerprints into the system’s fingerprint database. This database is used by the fprintd service, which is responsible for managing and authenticating fingerprints on a Linux system. When you run the fprintd-enroll command, the system will prompt you to place your finger on the fingerprint sensor. […]
