Legacy crypt — Function to check Unix passwords
===============================================

The legacycrypt module is a standalone version of
https://docs.python.org/3/library/crypt.html

This module implements an interface to the crypt(3) routine, which is a
one-way hash function based upon a modified DES algorithm; see the Unix
man page for further details. Possible uses include storing hashed
passwords so you can check passwords without storing the actual
password, or attempting to crack Unix passwords with a dictionary.

Notice that the behavior of this module depends on the actual
implementation of the crypt(3) routine in the running system. Therefore,
any extensions available on the current implementation will also be
available on this module.
