/// This base trait includes features of a PAM handle that are available
/// to both applications and modules.
///
/// You probably want [`LibPamTransaction`](crate::libpam::LibPamTransaction).
/// This trait is intended to allow creating mock PAM handle types
/// to test PAM modules and applications.

    /// [`warn!`](crate::warn!),
    /// [`info!`](crate::info!),
    /// or [`debug!`](crate::debug!).
    ///
    /// In most PAM implementations, this will go to syslog.
    /// See [Linux-PAM's `pam_syslog`][man7] or
    /// [OpenPAM's `openpam_log`][manbsd] for more details.
