+.SH NAME
+cracklib\-format, cracklib\-packer, cracklib\-unpacker \- cracklib dictionary utilities
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B cracklib\-format
+.IR file
+.IR ...
+
+.B cracklib\-packer
+.IR cracklib_dictpath
+
+.B cracklib\-unpacker
+.IR cracklib_dictpath
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B cracklib\-format
+takes a list of text files each containing a list of words, one per line, It
+lowercases all words, removes control characters, and sorts the lists.  It
+outputs the cleaned up list to standard output.  The text files may be
+optionally compressed with
+.BR gzip (1).
+
+If you supply massive amounts of text to
+.B cracklib\-format
+you must have enough free space available for use by the
+.BR sort (1)
+command.  If you do not have 20Mb free in /var/tmp (or whatever
+temporary area your
+.BR sort (1)
+command uses), have a look at the
+.B /usr/sbin/cracklib\-format
+program which is a
+.BR sh (1)
+program.  You can usually tweak the
+.BR sort (1)
+command to use any large area of disk you desire, by use of the
+.B \-T
+option.
+.B cracklib\-format
+has a hook for this.
+
+.B cracklib\-packer
+reads from standard input a list of sorted and cleaned words and
+creates a database in the directory and prefix given by the command
+line argument
+.B cracklib_dictpath.
+Three files are created with the suffixes of .hwm, .pwd, and .pwi.
+These three files are in the format that the
+.BR FascistCheck (3)
+subroutine,
+.BR cracklib\-unpacker (8),
+and
+.BR cracklib\-check (8),
+utilities understand.  The number of words read and written are printed on
+.BR stdout (3).
+
+.B cracklib\-unpacker
+reads from the database in the directory and prefix given by the command
+line argument
+.B cracklib_dictpath
+and outputs on standard output the list of words that make up the
+database.
+
+The database is in a binary format generated by the utilities
+.BR cracklib\-format (8)
+and
+.BR cracklib\-packer (8).
+On a Debian system the database is located in the directory
+/var/cache/cracklib/pq_dict and is generated daily with the program
+/etc/cron.daily/cracklib.  The location is also defined in the
+header file
+.B crack.h
+using the constant
+.B CRACKLIB_DICTPATH
+though none of the subroutines in the cracklib libraries have this
+location hardcoded into their implementations.
+
+.SH FILES
+.TP
+.I /var/cache/cracklib/pq_dict.[hwm|pwd|pwi]
+cracklib dictionary database files used by utilities.
+.TP
+.I /etc/cron.daily/cracklib
+cracklib daily cron program to rebuild the cracklib dictionary database.
+.TP
+.I /etc/cracklib/cracklib.conf
+cracklib configuration file used by the cracklib daily cron program to
+rebuild the cracklib dictionary database.
+.TP
+.I /usr/include/crack.h
+cracklib header file defining the subroutine
+.BR FascistCheck(3)
+and the constant
+.B CRACKLIB_DICTPATH
+used to compile in the location of the cracklib dictionary database for
+these utilities.
+.TP
+.I /usr/sbin/cracklib\-format
+cracklib shell script to create initial list of words for dictionary
+database.
