+    <para>
+      This program reads a password from a <acronym>FIFO</acronym> and
+      outputs it to standard output.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      This program is not very useful on its own.  This program is
+      really meant to run as a plugin in the <application
+      >Mandos</application> client-side system, where it is used as a
+      fallback and alternative to retrieving passwords from a
+      <application >Mandos</application> server.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      This program is meant to be imitate a feature of the
+      <command>askpass</command> program, so that programs written to
+      interface with it can keep working under the
+      <application>Mandos</application> system.

+    <title>EXIT STATUS</title>
+    <para>
+      If exit status is 0, the output from the program is the password
+      as it was read.  Otherwise, if exit status is other than 0, the
+      program was interrupted or encountered an error, and any output
+      so far could be corrupt and/or truncated, and should therefore
+      be ignored.

+      <refentrytitle>plugin-runner</refentrytitle><manvolnum
+      >8mandos</manvolnum></citerefentry>, and will, when run
+      standalone, outside, in a normal environment, immediately output
+      on its standard output any presumably secret password it just
+      received.  Therefore, when running this program standalone
+      (which should never normally be done), take care not to type in
+      any real secret password by force of habit, since it would then
+      immediately be shown as output.
