1*44269bb5Schristos.Sh DESCRIPTION
2*44269bb5SchristosThese functions are OpenPAM extensions to the PAM API.
3*44269bb5SchristosThose named
4*44269bb5Schristos.Fn pam_*
5*44269bb5Schristosare, in the author's opinion, logical and necessary extensions to the
6*44269bb5Schristosstandard API, while those named
7*44269bb5Schristos.Fn openpam_*
8*44269bb5Schristosare either simple convenience functions, or functions intimately tied
9*44269bb5Schristosto OpenPAM implementation details, and therefore not well suited to
10*44269bb5Schristosstandardization.
