+== Name
+
+cryptsetup-tcryptDump - dump the header information of a TCRYPT (TrueCrypt or VeraCrypt compatible) device
+
+== SYNOPSIS
+
+*cryptsetup _tcryptDump_ [<options>] <device>*
+
+== DESCRIPTION
+
+Dump the header information of a TCRYPT (TrueCrypt or VeraCrypt compatible) device.
+
+If the --dump-volume-key option is used, the TCRYPT device volume key is
+dumped instead of TCRYPT header info. Beware that the volume key (or
+concatenated volume keys if cipher chain is used) can be used to decrypt
+the data stored in the TCRYPT container without a passphrase. This means
+that if the volume key is compromised, the whole device has to be erased
+to prevent further access. Use this option carefully.
+
+*<options>* can be [--dump-volume-key, --key-file, --tcrypt-hidden,
+--tcrypt-system, --tcrypt-backup, --veracrypt (ignored), --disable-veracrypt,
+--veracrypt-pim, --veracrypt-query-pim, --cipher, --hash, --header,
+--verify-passphrase, --timeout].
+
+The keyfile parameter allows a combination of file content with the
+passphrase and can be repeated.
