108.Sh DESCRIPTION
109These functions are OpenPAM extensions to the PAM API.
110Those named
111.Fn pam_*
112are, in the author's opinion, logical and necessary extensions to the
113standard API, while those named
114.Fn openpam_*
115are either simple convenience functions, or functions intimately tied
116to OpenPAM implementation details, and therefore not well suited to
117standardization.
