# crypt-tool

A command line tool for hashing passwords using your system's libcrypt

Output of `crypt-tool --help`:

```

Hashes one or more passwords from the terminal or stdin.

Usage: crypt-tool [ []]

Example command line session:

	$ crypt '$2b$' 12

	Password: 

	Hash: $2b$12$Z0vgnP2jil4YioUAGsDwa.nIkRS.we6hBNHyy4WutXlPT3V5D/ktO

	Password: 

	

	$ 

 is a string, such as "$2b$", that selects an algorithm for

the generated password hashes.  See crypt(5) for a list of supported

algorithms.  If not specified, NULL is provided, which the manpage for

crypt_gensalt(3) says is supposed to select "the best available hashing

method", whatever that means.

 is the number of "rounds" of hashing to apply.  Only some

algorithms use this value, and the meaning depends on which algorithm is

selected.  If not specified, 0 is provided, which tells the selected

algorithm to use its best judgement.

The input behavior depends on whether or not stdin is a terminal.
