+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.HP \w'\fBpam_filter\&.so\fR\ 'u
+\fBpam_filter\&.so\fR [debug] [new_term] [non_term] run1|run2 \fIfilter\fR [\fI\&.\&.\&.\fR]
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+This module is intended to be a platform for providing access to all of the input/output that passes between the user and the application\&. It is only suitable for tty\-based and (stdin/stdout) applications\&.
+.PP
+To function this module requires
+\fIfilters\fR
+to be installed on the system\&. The single filter provided with the module simply transposes upper and lower case letters in the input and output streams\&. (This can be very annoying and is not kind to termcap based editors)\&.
+.PP
+Each component of the module has the potential to invoke the desired filter\&. The filter is always
+\fBexecv\fR(2)
+with the privilege of the calling application and
+\fInot\fR
+that of the user\&. For this reason it cannot usually be killed by the user without closing their session\&.
+.SH "OPTIONS"

+\fBnew_term\fR

+The default action of the filter is to set the
+\fIPAM_TTY\fR
+item to indicate the terminal that the user is using to connect to the application\&. This argument indicates that the filter should set
+\fIPAM_TTY\fR
+to the filtered pseudo\-terminal\&.

+In order that the module can invoke a filter it should know when to invoke it\&. This argument is required to tell the filter when to do this\&.
+.sp
+Permitted values for
+\fIX\fR
+are
+\fI1\fR
+and
+\fI2\fR\&. These indicate the precise time that the filter is to be run\&. To understand this concept it will be useful to have read the
+\fBpam\fR(3)
+manual page\&. Basically, for each management group there are up to two ways of calling the module\*(Aqs functions\&. In the case of the
+\fIauthentication\fR
+and
+\fIsession\fR
+components there are actually two separate functions\&. For the case of authentication, these functions are
+\fBpam_authenticate\fR(3)
+and
+\fBpam_setcred\fR(3), here
+\fBrun1\fR
+means run the filter from the
+\fBpam_authenticate\fR
+function and
+\fBrun2\fR
+means run the filter from
+\fBpam_setcred\fR\&. In the case of the session modules,
+\fIrun1\fR
+implies that the filter is invoked at the
+\fBpam_open_session\fR(3)
+stage, and
+\fIrun2\fR
+for
+\fBpam_close_session\fR(3)\&.
+.sp
+For the case of the account component\&. Either
+\fIrun1\fR
+or
+\fIrun2\fR
+may be used\&.
+.sp
+For the case of the password component,
+\fIrun1\fR
+is used to indicate that the filter is run on the first occasion of
+\fBpam_chauthtok\fR(3)
+(the
+\fIPAM_PRELIM_CHECK\fR
+phase) and
+\fIrun2\fR
+is used to indicate that the filter is run on the second occasion (the
+\fIPAM_UPDATE_AUTHTOK\fR
