Thanks for the invite. I am however looking for a very small command
line tool, something like https://github.com/AlexBio/Safely. Safely is
pretty much exactly what I'm writing, minus jansson depenency and some
extra feautres. I'm mostly doing this to improve my skills in C and play
with encryption :)

I've been leaning towards walking that path but am now considering using
mlockall instead. I don't know if this is a bad idea or not though.
