encrypt(3) Library Functions Manual encrypt(3)
encrypt, setkey, encrypt_r, setkey_r - encrypt 64-bit messages
Password hashing library (libcrypt, -lcrypt)
#define _XOPEN_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
#include <unistd.h>
[[deprecated]] void encrypt(char block[64], int edflag);
#define _XOPEN_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
#include <stdlib.h>
[[deprecated]] void setkey(const char *key);
#define _GNU_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */
#include <crypt.h>
[[deprecated]] void setkey_r(const char *key, struct crypt_data *data);
[[deprecated]] void encrypt_r(char *block, int edflag,
struct crypt_data *data);
These functions encrypt and decrypt 64-bit messages. The
setkey() function sets the key used by encrypt(). The key
argument used here is an array of 64 bytes, each of which has
numerical value 1 or 0. The bytes key[n] where n=8*i-1 are
ignored, so that the effective key length is 56 bits.
The encrypt() function modifies the passed buffer, encoding if
edflag is 0, and decoding if 1 is being passed. Like the key
argument, also block is a bit vector representation of the actual
value that is encoded. The result is returned in that same
vector.
These two functions are not reentrant, that is, the key data is
kept in static storage. The functions setkey_r() and encrypt_r()
are the reentrant versions. They use the following structure to
hold the key data:
struct crypt_data {
char keysched[16 * 8];
char sb0[32768];
char sb1[32768];
char sb2[32768];
char sb3[32768];
char crypt_3_buf[14];
char current_salt[2];
long current_saltbits;
int direction;
int initialized;
};
Before calling setkey_r() set data->initialized to zero.
These functions do not return any value.
Set errno to zero before calling the above functions. On
success, errno is unchanged.
ENOSYS The function is not provided. (For example because of
former USA export restrictions.)

attributes(7).

encrypt()
setkey()
POSIX.1-2008.
encrypt_r()
setkey_r()
None.
Removed in glibc 2.28.
Because they employ the DES block cipher, which is no longer
considered secure, these functions were removed from glibc.
Applications should switch to a modern cryptography library, such
as libgcrypt.
encrypt()
setkey()
POSIX.1-2001, SUS, SVr4.
Availability in glibc
See crypt(3).
Features in glibc
In glibc 2.2, these functions use the DES algorithm.
