-\versionadded{2.5}
-
-This module provides access to the \UNIX{} shadow password database.
-It is available on various \UNIX{} versions.
-
-You must have enough privileges to access the shadow password database
-(this usually means you have to be root).
-
-Shadow password database entries are reported as a tuple-like object, whose
-attributes correspond to the members of the \code{spwd} structure
-(Attribute field below, see \code{<shadow.h>}):
-
-\begin{tableiii}{r|l|l}{textrm}{Index}{Attribute}{Meaning}
- \lineiii{0}{\code{sp_nam}}{Login name}
- \lineiii{1}{\code{sp_pwd}}{Encrypted password}
- \lineiii{2}{\code{sp_lstchg}}{Date of last change}
- \lineiii{3}{\code{sp_min}}{Minimal number of days between changes}
- \lineiii{4}{\code{sp_max}}{Maximum number of days between changes}
- \lineiii{5}{\code{sp_warn}}{Number of days before password expires to warn user about it}
- \lineiii{6}{\code{sp_inact}}{Number of days after password expires until account is blocked}
- \lineiii{7}{\code{sp_expire}}{Number of days since 1970-01-01 until account is disabled}
- \lineiii{8}{\code{sp_flag}}{Reserved}
-\end{tableiii}
-
-The sp_nam and sp_pwd items are strings, all others are integers.
-\exception{KeyError} is raised if the entry asked for cannot be found.
-
-It defines the following items:
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{getspnam}{name}
-Return the shadow password database entry for the given user name.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{getspall}{}
-Return a list of all available shadow password database entries, in arbitrary order.
-\end{funcdesc}
