NAME
— Pluggable Authentication Modules Library
LIBRARY
library “libpam”
SYNOPSIS
#include
<security/openpam.h>
DESCRIPTION
These functions are OpenPAM extensions to the PAM API. Those namedpam_*()
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.
