NAME
       [email protected], systemd-cryptsetup - Full disk decryption logic

SYNOPSIS
       [email protected]

       /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-cryptsetup

DESCRIPTION
       [email protected] is a service responsible for setting up encrypted block devices. It is
       instantiated for each device that requires decryption for access.

       [email protected] 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
       [email protected] units by systemd-cryptsetup-generator(8).
