Can't find informatin on passwdqc, pwqcheck or cracklib

I'm wanting to upgrade my security, and like to use some of the suggested tools. I've installed some of the tools, but can't find man pages on them. Similarly there's no results to be had from googling. I must be missing something.. NC

Greetings; I have misplaced file someplace in /home/gene. its name is bpim5*shelf.scad As usual it outputs 100,000 filenames, none of which is the one I am looking for. How in heck do you shut this thing up so it only spits out /the/path/to/the/file its looking for it it even found it? And wh
