Description
As I mentioned here https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/20452, no package has man pages for how to set up the crypttab file. @daniel-eys has pointed me in this direction, so I can try to write one based on the crypt.awk script, trying to follow the style of the crypttab man pages offered by both systemd and DragonFlyBSD.
If you have any suggestions for this, please let me know.

Research direction
Start by reading the crypt.awk script to understand the crypttab behavior, then compare the crypttab man pages provided by systemd and DragonFlyBSD. Add a Void man page that documents the supported crypttab setup and matches the project's documentation style; done means the file accurately reflects crypt.awk and is included in the repository.
