        !            30: .I Mkpasswd
        !            31: is used to generated the hashed password database used by the
        !            32: password library routines (see
        !            33: .IR getpwent (3)).
        !            34: .PP
        !            35: The file
        !            36: .I passwdfile
        !            37: must be in password file format (see
        !            38: .IR passwd (5)).
        !            39: .I Mkpasswd
        !            40: generates database files named ``passwdfile.pag'' and
        !            41: ``passwdfile.dir'' (see
        !            42: .IR ndbm (3)).
        !            43: Data subsequently taken from the database files differ from
        !            44: .I passwdfile
        !            45: in one respect.
        !            46: Rather than storing the encrypted password in the database,
        !            47: .I mkpasswd
        !            48: stores the offset of the encrypted password in
        !            49: .IR passwdfile .
        !            50: .PP
        !            51: .I Mkpasswd
        !            52: exits zero on success, non-zero on failure.

        !            58: to create ``passwdfile.orig'', a password file in the
        !            59: standard Version 7 format.
