.BR crypt_r ()

is a reentrant version of

.BR crypt ().

The structure pointed to by

Other than allocating it,

the only thing that the caller should do with this structure is to set

.SH "RETURN VALUE"

A pointer to the encrypted password is returned.

On success, a pointer to the encrypted password is returned.
