53 Each of these requires linking with \fI\-lcrypt\fP.
55 These functions encrypt and decrypt 64-bit messages.
58 function sets the key used by
62 argument used here is an array of 64 bytes, each of which has
63 numerical value 1 or 0.
64 The bytes key[n] where n=8*i-1 are ignored,
65 so that the effective key length is 56 bits.
69 function modifies the passed buffer, encoding if
71 is 0, and decoding if 1 is being passed.
76 is a bit vector representation of the actual value that is encoded.
77 The result is returned in that same vector.
79 These two functions are not reentrant, that is, the key data is
80 kept in static storage.
85 are the reentrant versions.
86 They use the following
87 structure to hold the key data:
92 char keysched[16 * 8];
99 long current_saltbits;
109 .I data\->initialized
112 These functions do not return any value.
116 to zero before calling the above functions.
122 The function is not provided.
123 (For example because of former USA export restrictions.)
125 Because they employ the DES block cipher,
126 which is no longer considered secure,
132 were removed in glibc 2.28.
133 Applications should switch to a modern cryptography library, such as
