DESCRIPTION

23       Utility  pwkickstart  generates kickstart passwords from password input
24       and prints them to standard output in  three  different  formats:  md5,
25       sha256 and sha512.
26
27       Previously grub-crypt provided the same, but it is not longer available
28       in some Linux distributions.
29
30       The output in section was shortened to fit on screen in  the  SYNOPOSIS
31       example above.
32
33       NON-INTERACTIVE MODE
34
35       The  utility  accepts exactly one parameter - the password. Entries are
36       sorted from oldest to newest.

43       To get the "strongest" possible hash:
44
45         $ pwkickstart mypass | tail -n1
46         $6$slYmPDc8PtwOPmnx$9u3X3NE73XxuU7.5YlJAm/QMEahzx
47
48       Grep exactly what's needed:
49
50         $ pwkickstart mypass | grep '
51         $6$slYmPDc8PtwOPmnx$9u3X3NE73XxuU7.5YlJAm/QMEahzx
