The manpage might be a bit ambiguous there, it says:

What exactly is a key file here?
I assume "luksFormat <device> [<key file>]" definitely counts to it.

Thus everyone who created his volumes like this, should be on the safe
side (an quickly notice in any other operations, if he doesn't use the
full key), right?

Same, when "--key-file=someActualFile luksFormat <device>" is used, I
guess.


But what about when --key-file=- is used?

That's kind of a mix between "key file" and stdin, the later which is
documented to end et EOL.
I strongly hope in that case it also read the *full* stdin?



Cheers,
Chris.
