Determine if file or directory is encrypted? I have FileVault enabled, so my home directory is encrypted. However, programs and libraries often use directories outside of /home; and Disk Utility allows us to create encrypted files and directories at arbitrary locations.

How can I tell if a file or directory is encrypted? Does Finder or a command line tool offer something?
If you're using FileVault 2 (OS X Lion and newer), the entire boot partition will be encrypted, which includes your home folder as well as Applications.

I ran the following command and part of the output shows I am using an encrypted, unlocked volume:
