DESCRIPTION
The
function is a standard conversation function
suitable for use on TTY devices.
It should be adequate for the needs of most text-based interactive
programs.

function allows the application to specify a
timeout for user input by setting the global integer variable
openpam_ttyconv_timeout
to the length of the timeout in seconds.
The
function and this manual page were developed for the
Fx Project by ThinkSec AS and Network Associates Laboratories, the
Security Research Division of Network Associates, Inc. under
DARPA/SPAWAR contract N66001-01-C-8035
(``CBOSS''
)
