Note the danger of using this program, since you might lock
19
yourself out of your system without any means of entering the root
20
file system password. This is, however, very unlikely considering
21
the fallback to getpass(3).

Document short options
31
State that this command is not meant to be invoked directly, but
32
is run as a plugin from mandos-client(8) and only run in the
33
initrd environment, not the real system.

Note that it does *not* currently use cryptsource or crypttarget.

Describe the key files and the key ring files. Also note that
43
they should normally have been automatically created.

Note that this is more or less a simple getpass(3) wrapper, even
67
though actual use of getpass(3) is not guaranteed.
70
Document use of "cryptsource" and "crypttarget".

Examples of normal usage, debug usage, with a prefix, etc.

Not much to do here but it is noteworthy to state the danger of
77
not having a fallback option.

Refer to mandos-client(8mandos) and password-request(8mandos)

and also, perhaps, to cryptsetup(8)?
