$ ri String#crypt | cat
----------------------------------------------------------- String#crypt
      str.crypt(other_str)   => new_str
------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Applies a one-way cryptographic hash to str by invoking the
      standard library function crypt. The argument is the salt string,
      which should be two characters long, each character drawn from
      [a-zA-Z0-9./].
