+ <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>
