Library for creating and verifying Usenet cancel locks

Edit Package libcanlock
https://micha.freeshell.org/libcanlock/

Cancel locks are used by Usenet article posters to authenticate their
authorship of an article. It may then by used by servers to prevent
cancel and supersede abuse. The use of this feature remains the
newsmaster's decision.

This library may be used for both the generation and the verification
of cancel locks.

- Update to version 3.3.0
  * Bugfixes:
    + canlock-mhp utility no longer hangs if field name was not
      found.
    + Potential NULL-pointer dereference fixed in canlock utility.
    + Two memory leaks fixed in canlock-hfp utility.j
    + Multiple bugs in test suite fixed, where return values from
    + library functions were not handled correctly.
    + Two memory leaks fixed in test suite for legacy API
    + NAME sections of cl_clear_secret(), cl_get_lock(), cl_split()
      and cl_verify() man pages fixed.
  * Separate library libcanlock-hp added to execute the header
    parsers (for operating systems with POSIX API).
  * New libcanlock-hp API function to unfold header fields added
  * Test suite extended for the new library. Tests for parser.
    functions are skipped by default (because they require the
    installed parser utilities).
  * New libcanlock API function cl_verify_multi() added to check
    multiple keys against multiple locks.
  * Library API and ABI are backward compatible
  * Test suite extended: It now tests cl_verify_multi() too
  * canlock utility now supports the option "-m" to check multiple
    keys against multiple locks.
  * Option "-m" added to SYNOPSIS section of canlock man page.
  * Example programs added to the "examples" and "hp/examples"
    subdirectories.
