<title>Description</title>
<para><filename>systemd-cryptsetup-generator</filename> is a
generator that translates <filename>/etc/crypttab</filename> into
native systemd units early at boot and when configuration of the
system manager is reloaded. This will create
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-cryptsetup@.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
units as necessary.</para>
<para><filename>systemd-cryptsetup-generator</filename> implements

<title>Kernel Command Line</title>

understands the following kernel command line parameters:</para>
