CRYPTSETUP-BITLKDUMP(8) Maintenance Commands CRYPTSETUP-BITLKDUMP(8)
cryptsetup-bitlkDump - dump the header information of a BITLK
(BitLocker compatible) device
cryptsetup bitlkDump [<options>] <device>
Dump the header information of a BITLK (BitLocker compatible)
device.
If the --dump-volume-key option is used, the BITLK device volume
key is dumped instead of header information. You have to provide
password or keyfile to dump volume key.
Beware that the volume key can be used to decrypt the data stored
in the container without a passphrase. This means that if the
volume key is compromised, the whole device has to be erased to
prevent further access. Use this option carefully.
<options> can be [--dump-volume-key, --volume-key-file,
--key-file, --keyfile-offset, --keyfile-size, --timeout].
--batch-mode, -q
Suppresses all confirmation questions. Use with care!
If the --verify-passphrase option is not specified, this
option also switches off the passphrase verification.
--debug or --debug-json
Run in debug mode with full diagnostic logs. Debug output
lines are always prefixed by #.
If --debug-json is used, additional LUKS2 JSON data
structures are printed.
--dump-volume-key, --dump-master-key (OBSOLETE alias)
Print the volume key in the displayed information. Use with
care, as the volume key can be used to bypass the
passphrases, see also option --volume-key-file.
--help, -?
Show help text and default parameters.
--key-file, -d name
Read the passphrase from file.
If the name given is "-", then the passphrase will be read
from stdin. In this case, reading will not stop at newline
characters.
See section NOTES ON PASSPHRASE PROCESSING in cryptsetup(8)
for more information.
--keyfile-offset value
Skip value bytes at the beginning of the key file.
--keyfile-size, -l value
Read a maximum of value bytes from the key file. The default
is to read the whole file up to the compiled-in maximum that
can be queried with --help. Supplying more data than the
compiled-in maximum aborts the operation.
This option is useful to cut trailing newlines, for example.
If --keyfile-offset is also given, the size count starts
after the offset.
--timeout, -t <number of seconds>
The number of seconds to wait before timeout on passphrase
input via terminal. It is relevant every time a passphrase is
asked. It has no effect if used in conjunction with
--key-file.
This option is useful when the system should not stall if the
user does not input a passphrase, e.g. during boot. The
default is a value of 0 seconds, which means to wait forever.
--usage
Show short option help.
--version, -V
Show the program version.
--volume-key-file, --master-key-file (OBSOLETE alias)
Use a volume key stored in a file. The volume key is stored
in a file instead of being printed out to standard output.

Please attach output of the failed command with --debug option
added.
