<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>
The <function>pam_prompt</function> function constructs a message
from the specified format string and arguments and passes it to the
conversation function as set by the service. Upon successful return,
<emphasis>response</emphasis> is set to point to a string
returned from the conversation function. This string is allocated
on heap and should be freed.
