17.Sh DESCRIPTION
18These functions are OpenPAM extensions to the PAM API.
19Those named
20.Fn pam_*
21are, in the author's opinion, logical and necessary extensions to the
22standard API, while those named
23.Fn openpam_*
24are either simple convenience functions, or functions intimately tied
25to OpenPAM implementation details, and therefore not well suited to
26standardization.
