+.Nm
is used to create and update the flat-files used to store
usernames and password for basic authentication of HTTP users.
If
-.B htpasswd

cannot access a file, such as not being able to write to the output
file or not being able to read the file in order to update it,
it returns an error status and makes no changes.

Resources available from the
-.B httpd
+.Xr httpd 8
Apache web server can be restricted to just the users listed
-in the files created by
-.B htpasswd.
+in the files created by
+.Nm .
This program can only manage usernames and passwords
-stored in a flat-file. It can encrypt and display password information
-for use in other types of data stores, though. To use a
-DBM database see
-\fBdbmmanage\fP.

encrypts passwords using either a version of MD5 modified for Apache,
-or the system's \fIcrypt()\fP routine. Files managed by

-may contain both types of passwords; some user records may have
-MD5-encrypted passwords while others in the same file may have passwords
-encrypted with \fIcrypt()\fP.

-.SH OPTIONS
-.IP \-b
-Use batch mode; \fIi.e.\fP, get the password from the command line
-rather than prompting for it. \fBThis option should be used with
-extreme care, since the password is clearly visible on the command
-line.\fP
-.IP \-c
-Create the \fIpasswdfile\fP. If \fIpasswdfile\fP already exists, it
-is rewritten and truncated. This option cannot be combined with
-the \fB-n\fP option.
-.IP \-n
+.Pp
+The options are as follows:
+.Bl -tag -width "passwordfileXX"
+.It Fl b
+Use batch mode;
+i.e. get the password from the command line rather than prompting for it.
+.Bf -symbolic
+This option should be used with extreme care,
+since the password is clearly visible on the command line.
+.Ef
+.It Fl c
+Create the
+.Ar passwordfile .
+If
+.Ar passwordfile
+already exists,
+it is rewritten and truncated.
+This option cannot be combined with the
+.Fl n
+option.
+.It Fl d
+Use
+.Xr crypt 3
+encryption for passwords.
+This is the default.
+.It Fl m
+Use Apache's modified MD5 algorithm for passwords.
+Passwords encrypted with this algorithm are transportable to any platform
+(Windows, Unix, BeOS, et cetera)
+running Apache 1.3.9 or later.
+.It Fl n
Display the results on standard output rather than updating a file.
This is useful for generating password records acceptable to Apache
-for inclusion in non-text data stores. This option changes the
-syntax of the command line, since the \fIpasswdfile\fP argument
-(usually the first one) is omitted. It cannot be combined with
-the \fB-c\fP option.
-.IP \-m
-Use Apache's modified MD5 algorithm for passwords. Passwords encrypted
-with this algorithm are transportable to any platform (Windows, Unix,
-BeOS, et cetera) running Apache 1.3.9 or later. On Windows and TPF,
-this flag is the default.
-.IP \-d
-Use crypt() encryption for passwords. The default on all platforms but
-Windows and TPF. Though possibly supported by
-.B htpasswd
-on all platforms, it is not supported by the
-.B httpd
-server on Windows and TPF.
-.IP \-s
-Use SHA encryption for passwords. Facilitates migration from/to Netscape
-servers using the LDAP Directory Interchange Format (ldif).
-.IP \-p
-Use plaintext passwords. Though
-.B htpasswd
+for inclusion in non-text data stores.
+This option changes the syntax of the command line,
+since the
+.Ar passwdfile
+argument
+(usually the first one)
+is omitted.
+It cannot be combined with the
+.Fl c
+option.
+.It Fl p
+Use plaintext passwords.
+Though
+.Nm
will support creation on all platforms, the
-.B httpd
+.Xr httpd 8
daemon will only accept plain text passwords on Windows and TPF.
-.IP \fB\fIpasswdfile\fP
-Name of the file to contain the user name and password. If \-c
+.It Fl s
+Use SHA encryption for passwords.
+Facilitates migration from/to Netscape servers using the
+LDAP Directory Interchange Format (LDIF).
+.It Ar password
+The plaintext password to be encrypted and stored in the file.
+Only used with the
+.Fl b
+flag.
+.It Ar passwordfile
+Name of the file to contain the username and password.
+If
+.Fl c
is given, this file is created if it does not already exist,
-or rewritten and truncated if it does exist.
-.IP \fB\fIusername\fP
-The username to create or update in \fBpasswdfile\fP. If
-\fIusername\fP does not exist in this file, an entry is added. If it
-does exist, the password is changed.
-.IP \fB\fIpassword\fP
-The plaintext password to be encrypted and stored in the file. Only used
-with the \fI-b\fP flag.
-.SH EXIT STATUS
-.B htpasswd
-returns a zero status ("true") if the username and password have
-been successfully added or updated in the \fIpasswdfile\fP.
-.B htpasswd
-returns 1 if it encounters some problem accessing files, 2 if there
-was a syntax problem with the command line, 3 if the password was
-entered interactively and the verification entry didn't match, 4 if
-its operation was interrupted, 5 if a value is too long (username,
-filename, password, or final computed record), and 6 if the username
-contains illegal characters (see the \fBRESTRICTIONS\fP section).
-.SH EXAMPLES
-\fBhtpasswd /usr/local/etc/apache/.htpasswd-users jsmith\fP
-.IP
-Adds or modifies the password for user \fIjsmith\fP.
-The user is prompted for the password. If executed
-on a Windows system, the password will be encrypted using the
-modified Apache MD5 algorithm; otherwise, the system's
-\fIcrypt()\fP routine will be used. If the file does not
-exist,
-.B htpasswd
-will do nothing except return an error.

-\fBhtpasswd -c /home/doe/public_html/.htpasswd jane\fP
-.IP
-Creates a new file and stores a record in it for user \fIjane\fP.

The user is prompted for the password.
If the file exists and cannot be read, or cannot be written,
