-.SH "DESCRIPTION"
-.PP
-In a nutshell,
-\fIpam_timestamp\fR
-caches successful authentication attempts, and allows you to use a recent successful attempt as the basis for authentication\&. This is similar mechanism which is used in
-\fBsudo\fR\&.
-.PP
-When an application opens a session using
-\fIpam_timestamp\fR, a timestamp file is created in the
-\fItimestampdir\fR
-directory for the user\&. When an application attempts to authenticate the user, a
-\fIpam_timestamp\fR
-will treat a sufficiently recent timestamp file as grounds for succeeding\&.
-.SH "OPTIONS"
