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

 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

 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.
