+.Sh NAME
+.Nm bcrypt_pbkdf
+.Nd bcrypt password-based key derivation function
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Lb libutil
+.In util.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn bcrypt_pbkdf "const char *pass" "size_t pass_len" "const uint8_t *salt" \
+ "size_t salt_len" "uint8_t *key" "size_t key_len" "unsigned int rounds"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+function converts a password into a byte array suitable for use as
+an encryption key.
+The password and salt values are combined and repeatedly hashed
+.Ar rounds
+times.
+The salt value should be randomly generated beforehand.
+The repeated hashing is designed to thwart discovery of the key via
+password guessing attacks.
+The higher the number of rounds, the slower each attempt will be.
+.\" A minimum value of at least 4 is recommended.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn bcrypt_pbkdf
+function returns 0 to indicate success and \-1 for failure.

+.\" .Sh HISTORY
+.\" .Sh AUTHORS
+.Sh CAVEATS
+This implementation deviates slightly from the PBKDF2 standard by mixing
+output key bits nonlinearly.
+By mixing the output bytes together, an attacker is required to perform
+all of the work without taking any shortcuts.
