ReadMe for SiREdit - Secure in-RAM Editor
=========================================


* Introduction

The Secure in-RAM Editor is a wrapper to edit files without unencrypted content reaching local storage.

All files to be edited are stored in a RAM file system (ramfs).

GPG encrypted files are decrypted and re-encrypted automatically.

Future version might copy files from and to sftp spaces automatically.


* Command overview:

  sircat file
    Just prints the (decrypted) file to stdout.

  sirgrep pattern files
    Searches the specified file(s) for the specified pattern, using egrep -i

  sirlistencto file
    Tries to print which GPG keys are able to decrypt the specified file.
    
  sirrecrypt file key1 key2 ...
    Re-encrypts the specified file for the specified keys.
    It's highly recommended to specify GPG-Keys by their IDs, not e-mail adresses.
    If the file initially was unencrypted, it is encrypted for the specified key.

  siredit file 
    Opens the file with vim or csvedit and re-encrypts it afterwards.
    For .csv files csvedit is used as editor.
    For other files $VISUAL, $EDITOR or vi is used, whatever is non-empty first.
