ccccrrrryyyyppppttttddddiiiirrrr encrypts all files in the current directory (or the
given directory if one is provided as an argument). When
called as decryptdir (i.e., same program, different name),
all files are decrypted.

When encrypting, you are prompted twice for the password as
a precautionary measure. It would be a disaster to encrypt
files a password that wasn't what you intended.
In contrast, when decrypting, you are only prompted once.
If it's the wrong password, no harm done.
Encrypted files have the suffix .crypt appended. This
prevents files from being encrypted twice. The suffix is
removed upon decryption. Thus, you can easily add files to
an encrypted directory and run cryptdir on it without
worrying about the already encrypted files.

The man page is longer than the program.
