How to unmount an encfs directory on linux?

Just because I always forget how to do it!

Mount is easy:

encfs SOURCE_DIR TARGET_DIR

But because encfs is using the FUSE kernel module for creating the mount point for the encrypted directory you have to use:

fusermount -u TARGET_DIR

to unmount it again.

Linux logic at its best!
