The GNU C library now includes Michael Glad's Ultra Fast Crypt, which
provides the Unix `crypt' function, plus some other entry points.

library. There is an extra distribution tar file just for crypt; it is

The GNU C Library is completely documented by the Texinfo manual found
in the `manual/' subdirectory. The manual is still being updated and
contains some known errors and omissions; we regret that we do not have
the resources to work on the manual as much as we would like. Please

+send comments on the manual to <bug-glibc-manual@prep.ai.mit.edu>, and

The file NOTES contains a description of the feature-test macros used
in the GNU C library, explaining how you can tell the library what
facilities you want it to make available.
-Send bug reports to bug-glibc@prep.ai.mit.edu.
+We prefer to get bug reports sent using the `glibcbug' shell script which

The GNU C Library is free software. See the file COPYING.LIB for copying
conditions.
