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