17//! # Usage
18//!
19//! This crate represents password hashes using the [`PasswordHash`] type, which
20//! represents a parsed "PHC string" with the following format:
21//!
22//! ```text
23//! $<id>[$v=<version>][$<param>=<value>(,<param>=<value>)*][$<salt>[$<hash>]]
24//! ```
25//!
26//! For more information, please see the documentation for [`PasswordHash`].
