65the rest of them.
66The first argument to
67.Nm
68indicates an action to be performed:
69.Bl -tag -width ".Cm destroy"
70.It Cm label
71Set up a shared secret device from the given components with the specified
72.Ar name .
73Metadata are stored in the last sector of every component.
74.It Cm stop
75Turn off an existing shared secret device by its
76.Ar name .
77This command does not touch on-disk metadata!
78.It Cm clear
79Clear metadata on the given providers.
80.It Cm dump
81Dump metadata stored on the given providers.

117.Pa /dev/shsec/secret
118device.
