       mkpasswd - generate hashed password table

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/etc/mkpasswd [ -v ] passwdfile

DESCRIPTION
       Mkpasswd	 is used to generated the hashed password database used by the
       library routines getpwnam()  and	 getpwuid().   If  the	-v  option  is

       named passwdfile.pag and passwdfile.dir.	 Mkpasswd  will	 exit  with  a
       non-zero exit code if any errors are detected.
