CRYPTDISKS_START(8)						 cryptsetup manual					       CRYPTDISKS_START(8)

NAME

       cryptdisks_start - wrapper around cryptsetup that parses /etc/crypttab.

SYNOPSIS

       cryptdisks_start <name>

DESCRIPTION

       cryptdisks_start is a wrapper around cryptsetup that parses /etc/crypttab just like the initscript /etc/init.d/cryptdisks does and starts
       the dm-crypt mapping that corresponds to <name>.

       Note that this wrapper passes --key-file=- to cryptsetup, so the passphrase in any referenced key file must not be followed by a newline
       character.

NAME

       systemd-cryptsetup@.service, systemd-cryptsetup - Full disk decryption logic

SYNOPSIS

       systemd-cryptsetup@.service

       /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-cryptsetup

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-cryptsetup@.service is a service responsible for setting up encrypted block devices. It is instantiated for each device that
       requires decryption for access.

       systemd-cryptsetup@.service will ask for hard disk passwords via the password agent logic[1], in order to query the user for the password
       using the right mechanism at boot and during runtime.

       At early boot and when the system manager configuration is reloaded this /etc/crypttab is translated into systemd-cryptsetup@.service units
       by systemd-cryptsetup-generator(8).
