readpassword: show where stdin is connected
Should make debugging situations like https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/issues/852 Empty stdin in mkinitcpio hook easier. Examples: $ echo -n "" | ./gocryptfs -init a Choose a password for protecting your files. Reading Password from stdin (connected to "pipe:[749878]") Got empty Password from stdin $ ./gocryptfs -init a < /dev/null Choose a password for protecting your files. Reading Password from stdin (connected to "/dev/null") Got empty Password from stdin $ ./gocryptfs -init a < /dev/zero Choose a password for protecting your files. Reading Password from stdin (connected to "/dev/zero") fatal: maximum password length of 2048 bytes exceeded $ ./gocryptfs -init a < /dev/full Choose a password for protecting your files. Reading Password from stdin (connected to "/dev/full") fatal: maximum password length of 2048 bytes exceeded $ jakob@brikett:~/go/src/github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs$ ./gocryptfs -init a < /dev/urandom Choose a password for protecting your files. Reading Password from stdin (connected to "/dev/urandom") Your master key is: 4e45a317-595d8a2d-46493a30-97de86ef- 540c7364-f0acc297-dd6f2592-7d9a5c97 If the gocryptfs.conf file becomes corrupted or you ever forget your password, there is only one hope for recovery: The master key. Print it to a piece of paper and store it in a drawer. This message is only printed once. The gocryptfs filesystem has been created successfully. You can now mount it using: gocryptfs a MOUNTPOINT
