+
+    <para><filename>systemd-veritysetup-generator</filename> is a generator that translates kernel command line options
+    configuring integrity-protected block devices (verity) into native systemd units early at boot and when
+    configuration of the system manager is reloaded. This will create
+    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-veritysetup@.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
+    units as necessary.</para>
+
+    <para>Currently, only a single verity device may be set up with this generator, backing the root file system of the

+        partition device is looked for under a GPT partition UUID derived from the last 128bit of the root hash. Hence
+        it is usually sufficient to specify the root hash to boot from an integrity protected root file system, as
+        device paths are automatically determined from it — as long as the partition table is properly set up.</para>
