htpasswd
— create
and update user authentication files
htpasswd |
[file] login |

-I [file] |
htpasswd
is used to create and update user
authentication files for HTTP daemons.
The options are as follows:
-I
htpasswd
reads exactly one
line from standard input and splits it at the first ":". The
first part is the login, the second part is the password which
htpasswd
then hashes using
bcrypt(3).htpasswd
prompts for a password and
generates a hash using bcrypt(3). A line
suitable for a password file is written to the standard output. If invoked
with two arguments (or one argument if the -I
flag
is used) user authentication file is updated.
This reimplemented version of htpasswd
has
been available since OpenBSD 5.6.
Florian Obser
<florian@openbsd.org>
implemented htpasswd
from scratch after Apache httpd
was removed from OpenBSD base.
