Manpages crack_teststrSection: Debian GNU/Linux manual (8)Updated: Wed, 3 Oct 2001 01:37:09 +0100 Index Return to Main Contents NAMEcrack_testlib, crack_testnum, crack_teststr - cracklib test utilitiesSYNOPSIScrack_testlibcrack_testnum DESCRIPTIONcrack_testlib tests if the input string will be accepted as a valid password by the installed cracklib dictionary using the FascistCheck(3) subroutine. crack_testnum tests if the input integer is an index to a word in the installed cracklib dictionary and returns the word if found. crack_teststr tests if the input string is in the installed cracklib dictionary and returns its index number if found.The database is in a binary format generated by the utilities crack_mkdict(8) and crack_packer(8). On a Debian system the database is located in the directory /var/cache/cracklib/cracklib_dict and is generated daily with the program /etc/cron.daily/cracklib. The location is also defined in the header file crack.h using the constant CRACKLIB_DICTPATH though none of the subroutines in the cracklib libraries have this location hardcoded into their implementations. Each take one string or number per line. Enter ^C when done. FILES
