[pkg-cryptsetup-devel] Bug#612947: cryptsetup: luksformat --help seems to report something

[Olivier Berger]

Package: cryptsetup
Version: 2:1.1.3-4
Severity: minor

Hi.

luksformat --help is unsupported.

Still, it happens to invoke cryptsetup --help somehow, which won't report the same as man luksformat. This is troublesome.

Would it be possible to add a --help option that just reports the help/pod message ?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,
