This library uses the cracklib as a dependency.
See the pwquality.h header file for the API.
+
+There are simple tools that use the libpwquality:
+
+ pwscore - reads the password to be checked from the standard input
+ Optional argument is an user name for additional checks.
+
+ pwmake - generates a random password
+ Required argument is number of bits of entropy used to
+ generate the password.
+
+The pwquality Python wrapper module can be used to call the libpwquality
+functionality from Python.
+
+And finally there is pam_pwquality Linux PAM module that can be used
+instead of pam_cracklib to disallow weak new passwords when user's login
+password is changed.
