Based on its value creates, destroys, opens or closes the LUKS container on a given device. - V(present) will create LUKS container unless already present. Requires O(device) and either O(keyfile) or O(passphrase) options to be provided. - V(absent) will remove existing LUKS container if it exists. Requires O(device) or O(name) to be specified. - V(opened) will unlock the LUKS container. If it does not exist it will be created first. Requires O(device) and either O(keyfile) or O(passphrase) to be specified. Use the O(name) option to set the name of the opened container. Otherwise the name will be generated automatically and returned as a part of the result. - V(closed) will lock the LUKS container. However if the container does not exist it will be created. Requires O(device) and either O(keyfile) or O(passphrase) options to be provided.
