.SH "NAME"
cryptdisks_start \- wrapper around cryptsetup that parses /etc/crypttab\&.
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.sp
\fBcryptdisks_start\fR \fI<name>\fR
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
\fBcryptdisks_start\fR is a wrapper around \fBcryptsetup\fR that parses \fB/etc/crypttab\fR just like the initscript /etc/init\&.d/cryptdisks does and starts the dm\-crypt mapping that corresponds to \fI<name>\fR\&.
.sp
Note that this wrapper passes \fB\-\-key\-file=\-\fR to \fBcryptsetup\fR, so the passphrase in any referenced key file must not be followed by a newline character\&.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.sp
\fIcryptdisks_stop\fR(8), \fIcryptsetup\fR(8), \fIcrypttab\fR(5)
