16.Sh DESCRIPTION
17These functions are OpenPAM extensions to the PAM API.
18Those named
19.Fn pam_*
20are, in the author's opinion, logical and necessary extensions to the
21standard API, while those named
22.Fn openpam_*
23are either simple convenience functions, or functions intimately tied
24to OpenPAM implementation details, and therefore not well suited to
25standardization.
