Using this function directly with job arguments will therefore 26 cause spurious job updates. 27 28 The version prefix on the generated string (e.g. `$2a$`) may change in future 29 versions of Nomad. 30 31 ## Examples 32 33 ```shell-session 34 > bcrypt("hello world") 35 $2a$10$D5grTTzcsqyvAeIAnY/mYOIqliCoG7eAMX0/oFcuD.iErkksEbcAa 36 ```
