Bug Description
Currently in man page:
++++++
BASIC COMMANDS
The following are valid actions for all supported device types.
open <name> <device> --type <device_type>
Opens (creates a mapping) with <name> backed by device <device>.
++++++
Commands and results:
++++++
$ sudo cryptsetup open pvd /dev/sdd --key-file=
Device pvd doesn't exist or access denied.
$ sudo cryptsetup open /dev/sdd pvd --key-file=
$ sudo cryptsetup status pvd
/dev/mapper/pvd is active.
++++++
Presumably the man page should have:
open <device> <name> --type <device_type>
(In other words, “<name>” and “<device>” are reversed.)
