14.Sh DESCRIPTION
15These functions are OpenPAM extensions to the PAM API.
16Those named
17.Fn pam_*
18are, in the author's opinion, logical and necessary extensions to the
19standard API, while those named
20.Fn openpam_*
21are either simple convenience functions, or functions intimately tied
22to OpenPAM implementation details, and therefore not well suited to
23standardization.
