Feature: offer to create mountpoint if it does not exist

[llopezmo-rh]

Hi.

I have used Gocryptfs many times and I have missed that the mount directory, often temporary, is created automatically in case it does not exist. That is why I am suggesting the option mkdir here, if you consider it suitable.

If have tested it and it seems to work fine:

$ ./gocryptfs -mkdir ciphdir /tmp/x
Mountpoint "/tmp/x" created.
Password:

If you would like to change anything or you have any preference, please feel free to let me know. For example, I have used mkdirAll , but a more cautious option would be mkdir instead.

I am an amateur developer and I am not a Go expert. In case something is wrong, I am available to correct it.

Kind regards,
Lucas.

Hi, @rfjakob.

I am available if you would like to check or correct this. Feel free to share your thoughts.

Thank you.

I'm reluctant to add this as it can be easily accomplished in shell:

MNT=$(mktemp -d) ; gocryptfs xyz $MNT
