.SH NAME
encrypt \- encoding function (\fBCRYPT\fP)
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
\fB#include <unistd.h>
.br
.sp
void encrypt(char\fP \fIblock\fP\fB[64], int\fP \fIedflag\fP\fB);
\fP

.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The \fIencrypt\fP() function shall provide access to an implementation-defined
encoding algorithm. The key generated by \fIsetkey\fP() is used to
encrypt the string \fIblock\fP with \fIencrypt\fP().
.LP
The \fIblock\fP argument to \fIencrypt\fP() shall be an array of length
64 bytes containing only the bytes with values of 0
and 1. The array is modified in place to a similar array using the
key set by \fIsetkey\fP(). If \fIedflag\fP is 0, the argument is encoded.
If \fIedflag\fP is 1, the argument
may be decoded (see the APPLICATION USAGE section); if the argument
is not decoded, \fIerrno\fP shall be set to [ENOSYS].
.LP
The \fIencrypt\fP() function shall not change the setting of \fIerrno\fP
if successful. An application wishing to check for
error situations should set \fIerrno\fP to 0 before calling \fIencrypt\fP().
If \fIerrno\fP is non-zero on return, an error has
occurred.
.LP
The \fIencrypt\fP() function need not be reentrant. A function that
is not required to be reentrant is not required to be
thread-safe.
.SH RETURN VALUE
.LP
The \fIencrypt\fP() function shall not return a value.
.SH ERRORS
.LP
The \fIencrypt\fP() function shall fail if:
.TP 7
.B ENOSYS
The functionality is not supported on this implementation.
.sp
.LP
\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
.SH EXAMPLES
.LP
None.
.SH APPLICATION USAGE
.LP
Historical implementations of the \fIencrypt\fP() function used a
rather primitive encoding algorithm.
.LP
In some environments, decoding might not be implemented. This is related
to some Government restrictions on encryption and
decryption routines. Historical practice has been to ship a different
version of the encryption library without the decryption
feature in the routines supplied. Thus the exported version of \fIencrypt\fP()
does encoding but not decoding.
.SH RATIONALE
.LP
None.
.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS
.LP
None.
