19 !!DESCRIPTION
20
21
22 __mkpasswd__ encrypts the given password with the

31 Use the ''STRING'' as salt.
32
33
34 __-H, --hash=TYPE__

43
44
45 Read the password from file descriptor ''NUM'' instead of

56
57
58 If the ''--stdin'' option is used, passwords containing
59 some control characters may not be read
60 correctly.
