63the rest of them.
64The first argument to
65.Nm
66indicates an action to be performed:
67.Bl -tag -width ".Cm destroy"
68.It Cm label
69Set up a shared secret device from the given components with the specified
70.Ar name .
71Metadata are stored in the last sector of every component.
72.It Cm stop
73Turn off an existing shared secret device by its
74.Ar name .
75This command does not touch on-disk metadata!
76.It Cm clear
77Clear metadata on the given providers.
78.It Cm dump
79Dump metadata stored on the given providers.
