Options:
+**-allow_other**
+: By default, the Linux kernel prevents any other user (even root) to
+access a mounted FUSE filesystem. Settings this option allows access for
+other users, subject to file permission checking. Only works if
+user_allow_other is set in /etc/fuse.conf. This option is equivalent to
+"allow_other" plus "default_permissions" described in fuse(8).

**-config string**
: Use specified config file instead of CIPHERDIR/gocryptfs.conf
