Change a HYPHEN-MINUS (code 0x55, 2D) to a minus (\-), if in front of
1) a name of an option
2) a negative number to be printed.
See man-pages(7) [Debian package "manpages"].
The output from "nroff" is unchanged.

The --partscan functionality depends on sector size. Make sure
sector size is set before we force kernel to scan the device for
partitions. For example:
losetup -f loopfile --sector-size 4KiB --partscan --show
where 'loopfile' contains GPT with 4096 sectors.

Kernel since 4.14 supports setting of logical block size[1]. It allows to
create loop devices that report logical block size different from 512.
Add support for this feature to losetup.

In POSIX we have only 'b' and 'k' (case-sensitive).
In the real work, OSX was the only system I've found which does
not understand capital 'K'.

This patch introduces overlap detections and loop devices
re-use for losetup(8). We already support this feature for mount(8)
where it's enabled by default (because we mount filesystems and it's
always mistake to share the same filesystem between more loop
devices).
Stanislav has suggested to enable this feature also for losetup by
default. I'm not sure about it, IMHO it's better to keep losetup(8)
simple and stupid by default, and inform users about possible problems
and solutions in the man page.
The feature forces losetup to scan all loop devices always when new
one is requested. This maybe disadvantage (especially when we use
control-loop to avoid /sys or /dev scans) on system with huge number
of loop devices.

Also, for chcpu, the options -c, -d, -e and -g are mutually exclusive,
and for the mode argument the option -p is not optional. For ldattach,
use the standard options separator ", " instead of the unusual " | ".
And add the missing --version to several of the pages. Besides, improve
the wording and the consistency of the spacing.

The option is unsupported since v2.23, let's cleanup man pages and
code to remove it at all.

kernel cryptoloop is deprecated since ages and support for cryptoloop
in util-linux is incomplete/broken.
- no password hashing
- last 8 bit of key are always set to zero
- no binary keys possible (stops reading key at \n and \0)
In the past some Distros added the above features with patches. So
remove cryptoloop support from util-linux completely to make sure
people won't try using it.

Update the man pages of blkid, wipefs, fallocate, fstrim, losetup
and hexdump to clarify the suffixes for the numerical values of the
offset and size/length arguments regarding KiB=1024 vs KB=1000.
Also mention the ZiB/YiB and ZB/YB suffixes supported by strtosize().
