+      <para>The <function>pws3_*()</function> family of functions allows

+      files. Password Safe version 3 files consist of a header and a body part.
+      The header is comprised of both mandatory and optional typed header
+      fields which hold file-wide metadata. The body consists of records which
+      in turn hold passwords and associated metadata in typed record
+      fields.</para>

+      field is defined in <xref linkend="table-record-fields"/>. Each header
+      field, with the exception of the empty groups header field, can only
+      occur once. The version header field
+      (<constant>PWS3_HEADER_FIELD_VERSION</constant>) is mandatory and must

+      The supported version is defined by the <constant>PWS3_VERSION</constant>
+      macro, when creating a new file structure the version header field will be

+      encrypt the file is derived from the <parameter>password</parameter>
+      argument using the number of iterations to stretch the key determined by
+      the <parameter>n_iter</parameter> argument. The
+      <function>pws3_file_write_mem()</function> will allocate and place the
+      file contents into memory and return the location and size to the
+      locations <parameter>sp</parameter> and <parameter>np</parameter>
+      point to. The <function>pws3_file_write_stream()</function> will write the
