+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+Blowfish is Bruce Schneier's symmetric block cipher. It supports
+variable length keys from 32 to 448 bits and has a block size of 64
+bits. Both CBC and ECB modes are supported.
+.PP
+setupBFstate takes a BFstate structure, a key of at most 56 bytes, the
+length of the key in bytes, and an initialization vector of 8 bytes
+(set to all zeroes if argument is nil). The encryption and decryption
+functions take a BFstate structure, a data buffer, and a length, which
+must be a multiple of eight bytes as padding is currently unsupported.
