It shows the steps needed -to use the code in C and C++ programs, using the dictionary data read from file or included -within the program executable. -The makefile has only been tried on Linux using GCC version 4.8.4, but should be fairly -portable to other systems. - -When dictionary data is included in your program's executable, the files `zxcvbn.c` , -`zxcvbn.h` , `dict-src.h` are used in your program. - -When dictionary data is read from file, the files `zxcvbn.c` , `zxcvbn.h` , `dict-crc.h` -and `zxcvbn.dict` are used in your program, compiled with `#define USE_DICT_FILE`. The CRC -of the dictionary data file is written to `dict-crc.h` so your executable can detect -corruption of the data. - -Rename `zxcvbn.c` to `zxcvbn.cpp` (or whatever your compiler uses) to compile as C++. - -The `dict*.h` and `zxcvbn.dict` files are generated by the dictgen program compiled from -dict-generate.cpp (see makefile for details). - ## Using -Initially call `ZxcvbnInit()` with the pathname of the `zxcvbn.dict` file. This can be -omitted when dictionary data is included in the executable. - Call `ZxcvbnMatch()` with the password and optional user dictionary to get the entropy estimation and optional information on the password parts (which will need freeing with `ZxcvbnFreeInfo()` after use). Do this for each password to be tested, or as each character of it is entered into your program. The optional user dictionary can change between each call. -Finally call `ZxcvbnUninit()` to free the dictionary data from read from file. This can be -omitted when dictionary data is included in the executable. - -Review the test program in `test.c` for an example. +Review the test program in `examples/test.c` for an example. ## Differences from the original version -- cgit v1.2.3
