+ * The =pam_start function creates and initializes a PAM context.
+ *
+ * The =service argument specifies the name of the policy to apply, and is
+ * stored in the =PAM_SERVICE item in the created context.
+ *
+ * The =user argument specifies the name of the target user - the user the
+ * created context will serve to authenticate.
+ * It is stored in the =PAM_USER item in the created context.
+ *
+ * The =pam_conv argument points to a =struct pam_conv describing the
+ * conversation function to use.
+ * This structure is defined as follows:
+ *
+ * struct pam_conv {
+ * int (*conv)(int, const struct pam_message **,
+ * struct pam_response **, void *);
+ * void *appdata_ptr;
+ * };
+ *
