    <title>Description</title>

    <para><filename>systemd-veritysetup@.service</filename> is a service responsible for setting up integrity
    protection (verity) block devices. It should be instantiated for each device that requires integrity
    protection.</para>

    <para>At early boot and when the system manager configuration is reloaded kernel command line configuration for
    integrity protected block devices is translated into <filename>systemd-veritysetup@.service</filename> units by
    <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-veritysetup-generator</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.</para>
