  `$'; other keys have specific meanings, as follows.

  cipher        Names the Catacomb cipher selected.

  hash          Names the Catacomb hash function selected.

  key           Cipher and MAC keys, each prefixed by a 16-bit big-endian
                length and concatenated, encrypted using the master
                passphrase.

  mac           Names the Catacomb message authentication code selected.

  magic         A magic string for obscuring password tag names.

  salt          The salt for hashing the passphrase.

  tag           The master passphrase's tag, for the Pixie's benefit.

  Password entries are assigned keys of the form `$' || H(MAGIC || TAG); the
  corresponding value consists of a pair (TAG, PASSWD), prefixed with 16-bit
  lengths, concatenated, padded to a multiple of 256 octets, and encrypted
