Please tell me any good reason for adding this patch. AFAICS it does the
same thing as aespipe does, but using the dm-crypt format. I wish the
author would provide a separate tool for doing in-pipe encryption
instead of patching external software. His reason "I had to use scripts"
does not make sense looking at the example with the mkisofs pipe, nor
"my scripts were not flexible enough". What does that mean, adding
another command in the command chain is too complicated?
And the code flow itself should be easy enough to convert it to a pipe
filter tool.
Something like aes-pipe (dm-crypt-pipe?) with the internals exchanged.
It would even beat the last reason "or simply were not flexible enough".
With a pipe, you can choose which encoder you want to use.
