NAME
luksformat - Create and format an encrypted LUKS device
SYNOPSIS
luksformat [-t fstype] device [ mkfs options ]
DESCRIPTION
luksformat is a wrapper around cryptsetup and mkfs which provides an easy interface for
creating an encrypted device that follows the LUKS standard and for putting a file system
onto the encrypted device.
The default file system is vfat since that is most commonly used on removable devices.
However, you can specify any available file system with the -t option.
