Description |
This package contains the library providing the compatibility API
for applications that are linked against glibc's libxcrypt, or that
are still using the unsafe and deprecated, encrypt, encrypt_r,
setkey, setkey_r, and fcrypt functions, which are still required by
recent versions of POSIX, the Single UNIX Specification, and various
other standards.
All existing binary executables linked against glibc's libcrypt should
work unmodified with the library supplied by this package.
