     NAME
	  des_read_password, des_read_2passwords, des_read_pw_string,
	  des_read_pw - Compatibility user interface functions

     SYNOPSIS
	   int des_read_password(DES_cblock *key,const char *prompt,int verify);
	   int des_read_2passwords(DES_cblock *key1,DES_cblock *key2,
		  const char *prompt,int verify);

	   int des_read_pw_string(char *buf,int length,const char *prompt,int verify);
	   int des_read_pw(char *buf,char *buff,int size,const char *prompt,int verify);

     DESCRIPTION
	  The DES library contained a few routines to prompt for
	  passwords.  These aren't necessarely dependent on DES, and
	  have therefore become part of the UI compatibility library.

	  des_read_pw() writes the string specified by prompt to
	  standard output turns echo off and reads an input string
	  from the terminal.  The string is returned in buf, which
	  must have spac for at least size bytes.  If verify is set,
	  the user is asked for the password twice and unless the two
	  copies match, an error is returned.  The second password is
	  stored in buff, which must therefore also be at least size
	  bytes.  A return code of -1 indicates a system error, 1
	  failure due to use interaction, and 0 is success.  All other
	  functions described here use des_read_pw() to do the work.

	  des_read_pw_string() is a variant of des_read_pw() that
	  provides a buffer for you if verify is set.

	  des_read_password() calls des_read_pw() and converts the
	  password to a DES key by calling DES_string_to_key();
	  des_read_2password() operates in the same way as
	  des_read_password() except that it generates two keys by
	  using the DES_string_to_2key() function.

     NOTES
	  des_read_pw_string() is available in the MIT Kerberos
	  library as well, and is also available under the name
	  EVP_read_pw_string().
