Hello,

I am trying to write a function in C that only does exactly what
crypt does. I wonder if it is possible to load crypt function directly
from /usr/lib/libcrypt.so. If it is possible, what should I declare as
arguments and return values? Can I just declare as varchar or text? I
tried it but the backend crashes. I am not sure if I'm declaring wrong or
calling wrong.
If not possible, can anyone suggest me a wrapper for this purpose?

Thanks.
