ENCRYPT(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual ENCRYPT(3P)
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux
implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or
the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
encrypt — encoding function (CRYPT)
#include <unistd.h>
void encrypt(char block[64], int edflag);
The encrypt() function shall provide access to an implementation-
defined encoding algorithm. The key generated by setkey() is used to
encrypt the string block with encrypt().
The block argument to encrypt() shall be an array of length 64 bytes
containing only the bytes with values of 0 and 1. The array is
modified in place to a similar array using the key set by setkey().
If edflag is 0, the argument is encoded. If edflag is 1, the argument
may be decoded (see the APPLICATION USAGE section); if the argument
is not decoded, errno shall be set to [ENOSYS].
The encrypt() function shall not change the setting of errno if
successful. An application wishing to check for error situations
should set errno to 0 before calling encrypt(). If errno is non-zero
on return, an error has occurred.
The encrypt() function need not be thread-safe.
The encrypt() function shall not return a value.
The encrypt() function shall fail if:
ENOSYS The functionality is not supported on this implementation.
The following sections are informative.
None.
Historical implementations of the encrypt() function used a rather
primitive encoding algorithm.
In some environments, decoding might not be implemented. This is
related to some Government restrictions on encryption and decryption
routines. Historical practice has been to ship a different version of
the encryption library without the decryption feature in the routines
supplied. Thus the exported version of encrypt() does encoding but
not decoding.
None.
None.
