How do I use pbkdf2 in lib nss? It appears to be supported but I can not find a
useable example. The api page list functions but I don't know what to do with
them

I want to supply a password, choose the rounds then generate a specific amount
of bytes. Something like the below would work for me but I expect actual usage
wouldn't be like that
char data_out[20]; //I need 20bytes of data from the password
int rounds = 50000; //1K is too quick these days
//password is null terminated
if(pbkdf2(pass, rounds, salt, &data_out, sizeof data_out) != 0)
{printf("Error");}
Can someone give me a useable example?
.NET has a complicated example but I can see what I want can be done in two
lines. I searched for nearly two hours and can't figure out how to do it in
nss.

Rfc2898DeriveBytes k1 = new Rfc2898DeriveBytes(pwd1, salt1, myIterations);
k1.GetBytes(16);
