[pbs-devel] [PATCH proxmox 1/2] sys: crypt: use c_char for crypt ffi

[Maximiliano Sandoval]

As per

    man 3 crypt

`crypt_r`'s `data` argument has an `output` consisting of chars.

    struct crypt_data {
        char output[CRYPT_OUTPUT_SIZE];
        char setting[CRYPT_OUTPUT_SIZE];
        char input[CRYPT_MAX_PASSPHRASE_SIZE];
        char initialized;
    };

and, from

    man 3 crypt_gensalt_rn

crypt_gensalt_rn has signature

    char *
    crypt_gensalt_rn(const char * prefix, unsigned long count, const char *rbytes, int nrbytes, char * output, int output_size);

To reflect this the one should use `libc:c_char` in both calls.
