This packages provides a library which exports the functions crypt(3), crypt_r(3), encrypt(3), and setkey(3). The created passwords are 100% identical to those created by the Linux crypt(3). This release is a completely new implementation based on musl's. It adds the reentrant crypt_r function, as well as support for MD5, Blowfish, SHA-256, and SHA-512 ciphers as on other systems: http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/crypt.3.html The crypt.exe binary was removed as it was non-standard and intended for use on Windows 9x systems. -- Yaakov
