This program takes no options.
127
This program is commonly not invoked from the command line; it
128
is normally started by the <application>Mandos</application>
129
plugin runner, see <citerefentry><refentrytitle
130
>plugin-runner</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8mandos</manvolnum>
131
</citerefentry>. Any command line options this program accepts
132
are therefore normally provided by the plugin runner, and not
138
<term><option>--prompt=<replaceable
139
>PROMPT</replaceable></option></term>
142
The password prompt. Note that using this option will
143
make this program ignore the <envar>cryptsource</envar>
144
and <envar>crypttarget</envar> environment variables.
150
<term><option>--debug</option></term>
153
Enable debug mode. This will enable a lot of output to
154
standard error about what the program is doing. The
155
program will still perform all other functions normally.
161
<term><option>--help</option></term>
162
<term><option>-?</option></term>
165
Gives a help message about options and their meanings.

<term><option>--usage</option></term>
174
Gives a short usage message.
180
<term><option>--version</option></term>

<term><option>-V</option></term>

130
normally have inherited them from

132
initial <acronym>RAM</acronym> disk environment, which will
133
have set them from parsing kernel arguments and

135
initial RAM disk environment), which in turn will have been
136
created when the initial RAM disk image was created by

139
extracting the information of the root file system from
140
<filename >/etc/crypttab</filename>.

<manvolnum>8mandos</manvolnum></citerefentry>, which might
220
have in turn inherited them from its calling process.

<command>askpass</command>, the default password prompter.
