TrueCrypt CLI Linux Command Line Create Volume Automatically
Hope someone will be able to assist:
I have used TrueCrypt for many years and have recently wanted to start creating my own volumes "automatically" via perl script. I would like to be able to specify all the options using CLI instead of interactive mode to create a virtual volume file.
My example of what I'm going for (just an example I know this isn't correct)
truecrypt -c /path/to/virtual_volume --cypher sha-256-blowfish --random-source <path to random source> --volume-password 123456 --create-key /path/to/keyfile
Any help would be SO appreciated!
Thanks!

Sorry, I've never used truecrypt.
I just did a quick google search and good number of the hit suggest not using it.

WARNING: Using TrueCrypt is not secure as it may contain unfixed security issues
This page exists only to help migrate existing data encrypted by TrueCrypt.
The development of TrueCrypt was ended in 5/2014 after Microsoft terminated support of Windows XP. Windows 8/7/Vista and later offer integrated support for encrypted disks and virtual disk images. Such integrated support is also available on other platforms (click here for more information). You should migrate any data encrypted by TrueCrypt to encrypted disks or virtual disk images supported on your platform.
Using it on windows? Then why perl, did you read the batch documentation?

I understand that the devs "want us to stop using it" but that will never happen.
Anyone able to figure out the command CLI to auto create virtual containers? Thanks!! :)

Sorry, missed that it is Linux. Documentation advises to run truecrypt -h.

It's cool. Doesn't that just display "help" ? ;)

Yes I am aware of how to do the perl side programming: It's the truecrypt cli programming without using interactive mode that I need help with.....
