  <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
  <simpara>
   <emphasis role="strong">cryptdisks_start</emphasis> is a wrapper around
   <emphasis role="strong">cryptsetup</emphasis> that parses
   <emphasis role="strong">/etc/crypttab</emphasis> just like the initscript
   /etc/init.d/cryptdisks does and starts the dm-crypt mapping that
   corresponds to <emphasis>&lt;name&gt;</emphasis>.
  </simpara>
  <simpara>
   Note that this wrapper passes <option>--key-file=-</option> to
   <command moreinfo="refentry">cryptsetup</command>, so the passphrase
   in any referenced key file must not be followed by a newline character.
