    <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
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.generator</refentrytitle><manvolnum>7</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>

    <title>Kernel Command Line</title>

    <para><filename>systemd-cryptsetup-generator</filename>
