DESCRIPTION

     Makekey encrypts a key and salt which it reads from the standard input
     and writes the result to the standard output.  The key is expected to be
     ten bytes; the salt is expected to be two bytes.  See crypt(3) for more
     information on what characters the key and salt can contain and how the
     encrypted value is calculated.
