Hi All

Going through the options tinc has . Can someone explain exactly what the
purpose is for -L option for the runtime command.

So does this mean that tinc will run in RAM and will not be saved in swap
(default) ?

================

-L, --mlock

Lock tinc into main memory.  This will prevent sensitive data like
shared private keys to be written to the system
             swap files/partitions.

================
