Something I don't understand on chkpass.sgml
I'm currently translating chkpass.sgml and I'm having problems with this
sentence :
This is currently a stub that does nothing.
According to answers.com, a stub is a "A small software routine placed
into a program that provides a common function." So the sentence itself
is understandable but I don't understand what "the stub" refers to in
this paragraph : the error code routine ? the comparison one ? the cast
one ?
Thanks for any pointers.
Regards.

The stub is the function that checks the strength of the password.
Currently it is a lone "return 0", so it does not checking at all (it
has been like that for 6 years).
