Sorry for the delay in answering this one, I noticed it when fresh and then it slipped my mind. A binary could be added to the crate, but the set of hashing algorithms is fixed; by design, I wish to keep just the historic and present system hashes on Unix-like systems. I notice you've mentioned argon2 -- I wouldn't add it to the crate, so a hashing program in the crate couldn't provide it.
A separate crate is, then, what I'd recommend. I think that hashpw
is still available, and is also a fine name.
I'll close this issue and the pull request.
It would be great to have a small cli utility that can generate and verify hashes.
Of course it could be a different package, but I think this might be a fine spot in this library, because
pwhash
is great for that utility,
