DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
     _M_k_p_a_s_s_w_d is used to generated the hashed password database
     used by the library routines ggeettppwwnnaamm(()) and ggeettppwwuuiidd(()).  If
     the --vv option is supplied, each entry will be listed as it
     is added.	The file _p_a_s_s_w_d_f_i_l_e is usually /etc/ptmp (invoked
     by vipw(8)), and in any case must be in the format of
     /etc/passwd (see passwd(5)).  _M_k_p_a_s_s_w_d will generate data-
     base files named _p_a_s_s_w_d_f_i_l_e._p_a_g and _p_a_s_s_w_d_f_i_l_e._d_i_r. _M_k_p_a_s_s_w_d
     will exit with a non-zero exit code if any errors are
     detected.
