+Name
+
+amaespipe \14 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.
