a0520@campfire$ man htpasswd
Reformatting page. Wait... done
User Commands htpasswd(1)
NAME
htpasswd - Create and update user authentication files
SYNOPSIS
htpasswd [ -c ] passwdfile username
DESCRIPTION
htpasswd is used to create and update the flat-files used to
store usernames and password for basic authentication of
HTTP users. Resources available from the httpd Apache web
server can be restricted to just the users listed in the
files created by htpasswd. This program can only be used
when the usernames are stored in a flat-file. To use a DBM
database see dbmmanage and dbmmanage.new.
This manual page only lists the command line arguments. For
details of the directives necessary to configure user
authentication in httpd see the Apache manual, which is part
of the Apache distribution or can be found at
http://www.apache.org/.
OPTIONS
-c Create the passwdfile. If passwdfile already exists, it
is deleted first.

If -c is given, this file is created if it does not
already exist, or deleted and recreated if it does
exist.

username does not exist is this file, an entry is
added. If it does exist, the password is changed.
