The overloading of IR emits magic \X'...' sequences that turn into HTML manual links. But not all such IR invocations should be manual links; those had to be written to avoid the IR macro before. Worse, the \X'...' ending the IR causes troff to emit only a single space after a period. Defining a new IM macro for manual references fixes both problems. Fixes #441.

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
This is an algorithm alleged to be Rivest's RC4 encryption function. It is
|
|
a pseudo-random number generator with a 256 byte state and a long
|
|
cycle. The input buffer is XOR'd with the output of the
|
|
generator both to encrypt and to decrypt. The seed, entered
|
|
using
|
|
.IR setupRC4state ,
|
|
can be any length. The generator can be run forward using
|
|
.IR rc4 ,
|
|
skip over bytes using
|
|
.I rc4skip
|
|
to account lost transmissions,
|
|
or run backwards using
|
|
.I rc4back
|
|
to cover retransmitted data.
|
|
The
|
|
.I RC4state
|
|
structure keeps track of the algorithm.
