+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.PP
+\fBXauFileName\fP generates the default authorization file name by first
+checking the XAUTHORITY environment variable if set, else it returns
+$HOME/.Xauthority. This name is statically allocated and should
+not be freed.
+.PP
+\fBXauReadAuth\fP reads the next entry from \fIauth_file\fP. The entry is
+\fBnot\fP statically allocated and should be freed by calling
+\fIXauDisposeAuth\fP.
+.PP
+\fBXauWriteAuth\fP writes an authorization entry to \fIauth_file\fP. It
+returns 1 on success, 0 on failure.
+.PP
+\fBXauGetAuthByAddr\fP searches for an entry which matches the given network
+address/display number pair. The entry is \fBnot\fP statically allocated
+and should be freed by calling \fIXauDisposeAuth\fP.
+.PP
+\fBXauGetBestAuthByAddr\fP is similar to \fBXauGetAuthByAddr\fP, except
+that a list of acceptable authentication methods is specified. Xau will
+choose the file entry which matches the earliest entry in this list (e.g., the
+most secure authentication method). The \fItypes\fP argument is an array of
+strings, one string for each authentication method. \fItypes_length\fP
+specifies how many elements are in the \fItypes\fP array.
+\fItypes_lengths\fP is an array of integers representing the length
+of each string.
+.PP
+\fBXauLockAuth\fP does the work necessary to synchronously update an
+authorization file. First it makes two file names, one with ``-c'' appended
+to \fIfile_name\fP, the other with ``-l'' appended. If the ``-c'' file
+already exists and is more than \fIdead\fP seconds old, \fIXauLockAuth\fP
+removes it and the associated ``-l'' file. To prevent possible
+synchronization troubles with NFS, a \fIdead\fP value of zero forces the
+files to be removed. \fIXauLockAuth\fP makes \fIretries\fP attempts to
+create and link the file names, pausing \fItimeout\fP seconds between each
+attempt. \fIXauLockAuth\fP returns a collection of values depending on the
+results:
+.nf
+.ta .5i 2i
+
+ LOCK_ERROR A system error occurred, either a file_name
+ which is too long, or an unexpected failure from
+ a system call. errno may prove useful.
+
+ LOCK_TIMEOUT \fIretries\fP attempts failed
+
+ LOCK_SUCCESS The lock succeeded.
+
+.fi
+.PP
+\fBXauUnlockAuth\fP undoes the work of \fIXauLockAuth\fP by unlinking both
+the ``-c'' and ``-l'' file names.
+.PP
+\fBXauDisposeAuth\fP frees storage allocated to hold an authorization entry.
