Source-reported description

The fullest retained description is shown with its source. Distribution packaging descriptions may include downstream details.

Command line utilities for Netnews Cancel-Lock authentication scheme. canlock can be used to create <c-lock> and <c-key> elements according to RFC 8315. The secret data is read from standard input (using EOF for termination). canlock also provides a verify interface with the -c option. An external header parser is required to extract the <c-key> and <c-lock> elements from the article headers. The command line utilities canlock-mhp(1) and canlock-hfp(1) can be used for this purpose.
