+
+    <para>
+      <emphasis>pwhistory_helper</emphasis> is a helper program for the
+      <emphasis>pam_pwhistory</emphasis> module that transfers password hashes
+      from passwd or shadow file to the opasswd file and checks a password
+      supplied by user against the existing hashes in the opasswd file.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+      The purpose of the helper is to enable tighter confinement of
+      login and password changing services. The helper is thus called only
+      when SELinux is enabled on the system.
+    </para>
+
+    <para>
+      The interface of the helper - command line options, and input/output
+      data format are internal to the <emphasis>pam_pwhistory</emphasis>
+      module and it should not be called directly from applications.
