+NAME
+ libar2 - Library for the Argon2-family of hashing functions
+
+DESCRIPTION
+ libar2 is a C library that implements the family of Argon2
+ key derivation function, including Argon2d, Argon2i, and
+ Argon2id, as well as Argon2ds which was not part of the
+ submission to the Password Hashing Competition of 2013,
+ which Argon2 won in 2015. As a key derivation function,
+ Argon2 is well-suited for cryptographically hashing
+ (one-way encrypting) passwords.
