crypt(3trf)

📦 version 2.1.4-dfsg3, in debian bookworm, debian trixie, ubuntu jammy, ubuntu noble, ubuntu questing, ubuntu resolute, ubuntu stonking

💖 crypt — the NAME moment 💖

okay so bestie, this is crypt — password hashing based on "crypt". that's the whole vibe. ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

package require Tcl  ?8.2?

package require Trf  ?2.1.3?

crypt password salt

no cap, that's it. three lines and you're in. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so like… crypt is literally an interface to the crypt(3) function, and its whole job is the encryption of passwords. iconic behaviour, honestly. 💅

and if you want the same thing but based on md5 instead? there's an alternative command for exactly that, and it's called md5crypt. two paths, one destiny, you pick. 🎀

✨ crypt password salt ✨

this one right here:

  • encrypts the password using the specified salt 🌸
  • and returns the generated hash value as the result of the command 💖

that's the whole deal. pass in a password, pass in a salt, get a hash back. main character energy from a two-argument command, we love to see it. 👑

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

  • md5crypt
  • trf-intro

go read those too, bestie, i'm not kidding. iykyk. 🌈
