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.
