I suspect this patch has been forgotten, so I am bumping this thread as
a reminder. I'd like this man page cleaned up :-)

Hi,
this page is a mess. It is full of unclear wordings, in some cases
verging incorrect statements. At the same time, parts of it are wordy.
Here is an attempt to start fixing it.
I refrained from trying to explain $2a$ (as suggested by sthen@) or to
document the missing bcrypt_gensalt(3) in
quot;2b" you get an errno and no hash. It also does not
specify that you need to provide the log2 of rounds with the
_setting_ param, and that such log2 of rounds must be expressed as a two
digit number.
I am pasting a proposed patch for the crypt(3) man page.
Suggestions and ideas are welcome.
