encrypt
Encrypts a block of data.
Syntax
void encrypt (char *block, int edflag);
Parameters
block A pointer to the character array that is encrypted.
edflag An integer that is ignored by the function.
Return Values
None.
Description
The encrypt function scrambles the data in block using the same hashing
algorithm used by crypt(). The encrypt function performs a one-way
encryption on the supplied data in block using an encryption key
previously defined to the encryption algorithm using setkey.
The argument to encrypt is an 8-byte character array. The array is
treated as a binary number. The argument array is modified in place to a
similar array representing the bits of the argument after having been
subjected to the hashing algorithm using the key set by setkey.
