👑 CRYPTDISKS_STOP(8) — the cryptsetup manual edition 💅

okay bestie, so the manual name here is cryptdisks_stop (section 8, system admin girlies 🫶) and it lives in the cryptsetup manual — literally the glow-up wrapper you didn't know you needed ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

cryptdisks_stop — a cute little wrapper around cryptsetup that parses /etc/crypttab 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

cryptdisks_stop <name>

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

so here's the tea ☕ — cryptdisks_stop is a wrapper around cryptsetup that parses /etc/crypttab exactly the same way the initscript /etc/init.d/cryptdisks does 🎀

and what does it do with all that parsing power? it stops the dm-crypt mapping that corresponds to <name> 🛑✨

like. that's it. that's the whole vibe. one job, doing it flawlessly, main character energy fr fr 👑
