CCrypt¶ ↑

• github.com/brightbox/c_crypt

Ruby wrapper for the C crypt() function.

NOTE This just duplicates what String#crypt does. The gem was written before that was discovered. Use String#crypt instead of this gem.

• Only builds against Ubuntu

• Probably not thread safe

• Duplicates String#crypt

Whilst the gem compiles and works on OS X, it’s using the BSD crypt() function, not the GNU stdlib’s function. This means you get a completely different hash back from it.

The reason “support” for OS X has been added is so our developers who use Macs can still run the applications that lean on c_crypt locally.

Use it exactly the same as +crypt()+, give it a string to hash, and a salt. The start of the salt determines what algorithm is used. See +man 3 crypt+ for more help.
