=head1 DESCRIPTION
-The B<passwd> command computes the hashes of a list of passwords
-passed on the command line, or the hash of a password typed at run-time.
-Currently only the Unix standard algorithm B<crypt>
-is implemented.
+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 BSD password
+algorithm B<1> and its Apache variant B<apr1> are available.
=head1 OPTIONS
Use the B<crypt> algorithm (default).
