Would it call the INF functions to get that information? I ask because
obviously gfix cannot work like gstat in local mode, IE we don't expect it

Will encryption have many options as to justify a new tool? If not, as DS
said, fbsvcmgr is available.
I really don't like the idea of creating a big collection of tools.
