rclone config encryption check

Check that the config file is encrypted

Synopsis

This checks the config file is encrypted and that you can decrypt it.

It will attempt to decrypt the config using the password you supply.

If decryption fails it will return a non-zero exit code if using `--password-command`, otherwise it will prompt again for the password.

If the config file is not encrypted it will return a non zero exit code.
