NAME

       isencrypt - determine whether a buffer of characters is encrypted

SYNOPSIS

       cc [flag...] [file...] -lgen [library...]

       #include<libgen.h>

       int isencrypt(const char *fbuf, size_t ninbuf);

DESCRIPTION

       isencrypt()  uses  heuristics to determine whether a buffer of characters is encrypted. It requires two arguments: a pointer to an array of
       characters and the number of characters in the buffer.

       isencrypt() assumes that the file is not encrypted if all the characters in the first block are ASCII characters. If  there  are  non-ASCII
       characters in the first ninbuf characters, and if the setlocale() LC_CTYPE category is set to C or ascii, isencrypt() assumes that the buf-
       fer is encrypted

       If the LC_CTYPE category is set to a value other than C or ascii, then isencrypt() uses a combination of heuristics  to	determine  if  the
       buffer is encrypted. If ninbuf has at least 64 characters, a chi-square test is used to determine if the bytes in the buffer have a uniform
       distribution; if it does, then isencrypt() assumes the buffer is encrypted.  If the buffer has less than 64 characters, a check is made for
       null characters and a terminating  new-line to determine whether the buffer is encrypted.

RETURN VALUES

       If the buffer is encrypted,  1 is returned; otherwise, zero is returned.

NAME

       copylist - copy a file into memory

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lgen [ library ... ]
       #include <libgen.h>

       char *copylist(const char *filenm, off_t *szptr);

DESCRIPTION

       The  copylist()	function  copies a list of items from a file into freshly allocated memory,  replacing new-lines with null characters.	It
       expects two arguments: a pointer filenm to the name of the file to be copied, and a pointer szptr to a variable where the size of the  file
       will be stored.

       Upon  success, copylist() returns a pointer to the memory allocated.  Otherwise it returns NULL if it has trouble finding the file, calling
       malloc(), or reading the file.

USAGE

       The copylist() function has a transitional interface for 64-bit file offsets. See lf64(5).

EXAMPLES

       Example 1: Example of copylist() function.

       /* read "file" into buf */
       off_t size;
       char *buf;
       buf = copylist("file", &size);
       if (buf) {
	    for (i=0; i<size; i++)
		 if (buf[i])
		      putchar(buf[i]);
		 else
		      putchar('
');
	    }
       } else {
	    fprintf(stderr, "%s: Copy failed for "file".
", argv[0]);
	    exit(1);
       }
