+Description: Memory-safe reimplementation of shadow-utils in Rust
+ shadow-rs is a complete Rust reimplementation of the Linux shadow-utils
+ suite (passwd, useradd, userdel, usermod, groupadd, groupdel, groupmod,
+ pwck, grpck, chage, chpasswd, chfn, chsh, newgrp).
+ .
+ All 14 tools are provided as a single multicall binary with symlinks.
+ 4x faster than GNU shadow-utils, with 20+ security hardening layers.
