How is it possible to disable hkdf? #902

Hi,
I just wondered how it is even possible to disable hkdf. I saw that there are routines for a single-key mode, but

  • cli defaults to true
  • there does not exist a --nohkdf

My current hacky experiments rely on hkdf being enabled, so I am just curious about when my tests will break.

PS: And does it make sense to add a -nohkdf flag like the other -noX? If so I can ofc do it here

Disabling hkdf is a potential security issue. Why would you want this? It's still supported for backwards compatibility. Example: https://github.com/rfjakob/gocryptfs/blob/master/tests/example_filesystems/v0.9/gocryptfs.conf
