+=head1 NAME
+
+passwd - compute password hashes
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+B<openssl passwd>
+[B<-crypt>]
+[B<-apr1>]

+[B<-in> I<file>]
+[B<-stdin>]
+[B<-quiet>]
+[B<-table>]
+{I<password>}
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The B<passwd> command computes the hash of a password typed at
+run-time or the hash of each password in a list.  The password list is
+taken from the named file for option B<-in file>, from stdin for
+option B<-stdin>, and from the command line otherwise.
+The Unix standard algorithm B<crypt> and the MD5-based B<apr1> algorithm
+are available.
+
