[B<-salt string>]
[B<-in file>]
[B<-stdin>]

=head1 DESCRIPTION

The B<passwd> command computes the hash of a password typed at

taken from the named file for option B<-in file>, from stdin for
option B<-stdin>, and from the command line otherwise.
The Unix standard algorithm B<crypt> and the MD5-based B<apr1> algorithm
are available.
