NAME
       amaespipe - wrapper program for aespipe

SYNOPSIS
       amaespipe

DESCRIPTION
       amaespipe requires aespipe, uuencode and gpg to work. Aespipe is available from : http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net

       amaespipe will search for the aespipe program in the following directories: /usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin.

       amaespipe is called by amcrypt for Amanda data encryption.

       amaespipe is based on aespipe's bzaespipe program. It calls aespipe to encrypt data using AES256 as the encryption and SHA256 as the hash
       function. GPG key should be stored in $AMANDA_HOME/.gnupg/am_key.gpg.  amaespipe reads passphrase from file descriptor 3. During
       decryption, amaespipe autodects encryption type and hash function from the encrypted image.
