This patch is against the 3.21 version of the man pages. I (and some
others) found that the original example code
did not seem to work as advertised. The new code (used by permission of
the original author, Jens Thoms Toerring) was found
on comp.os.linux.development.

.SH NOTES
In glibc 2.2 these functions use the DES algorithm.
.SH EXAMPLE
-You need to link with libcrypt to compile this example with glibc.
-To do useful work the
-.I key[]
-and
-.I txt[]
-arrays must be filled with a useful bit pattern.
+You need to link with libcrypt (-lcrypt) to compile this example with
