NAME
cryptsetup-luksKillSlot - wipe a key-slot from the LUKS deviceSYNOPSIS
cryptsetup luksKillSlot [<options>] <device> <key slot number>DESCRIPTION
Wipe the key-slot number <key slot> from the LUKS device. Except running in batch-mode (-q) a remaining passphrase must be supplied, either interactively or via --key-file. This command can remove the last remaining key-slot, but requires an interactive confirmation when doing so. Removing the last passphrase makes a LUKS container permanently inaccessible.OPTIONS
--type <device-type>Specifies required device type, for more info
read BASIC ACTIONS section in cryptsetup(8).
When interactively asking for a passphrase,
ask for it twice and complain if both inputs do not match. Ignored on input
from file or stdin.
Read the passphrase from file.
If the name given is "-", then the passphrase will be read from stdin.
In this case, reading will not stop at newline characters.
See section NOTES ON PASSPHRASE PROCESSING in cryptsetup(8) for
more information.
Skip value bytes at the beginning of
the key file.
Read a maximum of value bytes from the
key file. The default is to read the whole file up to the compiled-in maximum
that can be queried with --help. Supplying more data than the compiled-in
maximum aborts the operation.
This option is useful to cut trailing newlines, for example. If --keyfile-offset
is also given, the size count starts after the offset.
The number of seconds to wait before timeout
on passphrase input via terminal. It is relevant every time a passphrase is
asked. It has no effect if used in conjunction with --key-file.
This option is useful when the system should not stall if the user does not
input a passphrase, e.g. during boot. The default is a value of 0 seconds,
which means to wait forever.
Use a detached (separated) metadata device or
file where the LUKS header is stored. This option allows one to store
ciphertext and LUKS header on different devices.
For commands that change the LUKS header (e.g. luksAddKey), specify the
device or file with the LUKS header directly as the LUKS device.
Disable lock protection for metadata on disk.
This option is valid only for LUKS2 and ignored for other formats.
WARNING: Do not use this option unless you run cryptsetup in a restricted
environment where locking is impossible to perform (where /run directory
cannot be used).
Suppresses all confirmation questions. Use
with care!
If the --verify-passphrase option is not specified, this option also switches
off the passphrase verification.
Run in debug mode with full diagnostic logs.
Debug output lines are always prefixed by #.
If --debug-json is used, additional LUKS2 JSON data structures are
printed.
Show the program version.
Show short option help.
Show help text and default parameters.
