25 \fBisencrypt()\fR uses heuristics to determine whether a buffer of characters
26 is encrypted. It requires two arguments: a pointer to an array of characters
27 and the number of characters in the buffer.
30 \fBisencrypt()\fR assumes that the file is not encrypted if all the characters
31 in the first block are \fBASCII\fR characters. If there are non-\fBASCII\fR
32 characters in the first \fIninbuf\fR characters, and if the \fBsetlocale()\fR
33 \fBLC_CTYPE\fR category is set to \fBC\fR or \fBascii\fR, \fBisencrypt()\fR
34 assumes that the buffer is encrypted
37 If the \fBLC_CTYPE\fR category is set to a value other than \fBC\fR or
38 \fBascii\fR, then \fBisencrypt()\fR uses a combination of heuristics to
39 determine if the buffer is encrypted. If \fIninbuf\fR has at least 64
40 characters, a chi-square test is used to determine if the bytes in the buffer
41 have a uniform distribution; if it does, then \fBisencrypt()\fR assumes the
42 buffer is encrypted. If the buffer has less than 64 characters, a check is
43 made for null characters and a terminating new-line to determine whether the
48 If the buffer is encrypted, \fB1\fR is returned; otherwise, zero is returned.
