MAKEKEY(8) BSD System Manager's Manual MAKEKEY(8)NAME
makekey -- make encrypted keys or passwords
SYNOPSIS
makekey
DESCRIPTION
makekey encrypts a key and salt which it reads from the standard input and writes the result to the standard output. The key is expected to
be eight bytes; the salt is expected to be two bytes. See crypt(3) for more information on what characters the key and salt can contain and
how the encrypted value is calculated.

A makekey command appeared in Version 7 AT&T UNIX.

PWHASH(1) BSD General Commands Manual PWHASH(1)NAME
pwhash -- hashes passwords from the command line or standard input
SYNOPSIS
pwhash [-km] [-b rounds] [-S rounds] [-s salt] [-p | string]
DESCRIPTION
pwhash prints the encrypted form of string to the standard output. This is mostly useful for encrypting passwords from within scripts.
The options are as follows:
-b rounds
Encrypt the string using Blowfish hashing with the specified rounds.
-k Run in makekey(8) compatible mode. A single combined key (eight chars) and salt (two chars) with no intermediate space are read from
standard input and the DES encrypted result is written to standard output without a terminating newline.
-m Encrypt the string using MD5.
-p Prompt for a single string with echo turned off.
-S rounds
Encrypt the salt with HMAC-SHA1 using the password as key and the specified rounds as a hint for the number of iterations.
-s salt
Encrypt the string using DES, with the specified salt.
If no string is specified, pwhash reads one string per line from standard input, encrypting each one with the chosen algorithm from above.
In the event that no specific algorithm is given as a command line option, the algorithm specified in the default class in /etc/passwd.conf
will be used.
For MD5 and Blowfish a new random salt is automatically generated for each password.
Specifying the string on the command line should be discouraged; using the standard input is more secure.

Hi
I tried googling about it and I couldn't really find a solid answer. Why is the compiler missing the exception class when it seems to be a standard class?
The code is here:

#define __RIJNDAEL_H__
#include <exception>
