decryptVolume volumeDevice [-user disk | existingCryptoUserUUID] [-passphrase existingPassphrase | -stdinpassphrase]
Start "background" decryption of a currently-encrypted APFS Volume.
The APFS Volume must be unlocked before beginning this operation.
In most cases, you will have to specify some (any) existing cryptographic user and passphrase on the APFS
Volume. If you do not supply a user, the "Disk User" is assumed. If you do not supply a passphrase yet one
is required, you will be prompted interactively.
Ownership of the affected disks is required.
