<h4><a name="tag_03_94_03"></a>DESCRIPTION</h4>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>The <i>crypt</i>() function is a string encoding function. The algorithm is implementation-defined.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <i>key</i> argument points to a string to be encoded. The <i>salt</i> argument is a string chosen from the set:</p>
|
|
|
|
<pre>
|
|
<tt>a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z
|
|
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
|
|
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 . /
|
|
</tt>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>The first two characters of this string may be used to perturb the encoding algorithm.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The return value of <i>crypt</i>() points to static data that is overwritten by each call.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <i>crypt</i>() function need not be reentrant. A function that is not required to be reentrant is not required to be
|
|
thread-safe.</p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<h4><a name="tag_03_94_04"></a>RETURN VALUE</h4>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>Upon successful completion, <i>crypt</i>() shall return a pointer to the encoded string. The first two characters of the
|
|
returned value shall be those of the <i>salt</i> argument. Otherwise, it shall return a null pointer and set <i>errno</i> to
|
|
indicate the error.</p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<h4><a name="tag_03_94_05"></a>ERRORS</h4>
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<p>The <i>crypt</i>() function shall fail if:</p>
|
|
|
|
<dl compact>
|
|
<dt>[ENOSYS]</dt>
|
|
|
|
<dd>The functionality is not supported on this implementation.</dd>

|
<h5><a name="tag_03_94_06_01"></a>Encoding Passwords</h5>
|
|
|
|
<p>The following example finds a user database entry matching a particular user name and changes the current password to a new
|
|
password. The <i>crypt</i>() function generates an encoded version of each password. The first call to <i>crypt</i>() produces an
|
|
encoded version of the old password; that encoded password is then compared to the password stored in the user database. The second
|
|
call to <i>crypt</i>() encodes the new password before it is stored.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <i>putpwent</i>() function, used in the following example, is not part of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001.</p>
