DESCRIPTION

These functions are OpenPAM extensions to the PAM API.

Those named
pam_*() are, in the author's opinion, logical and necessary

extensions to
the standard API, while those named openpam_*() are either

simple convenience functions, or functions intimately tied to OpenPAM

implementation
details, and therefore not well suited to standardization.
