Name
       pmt-fd0ssh - pipe for password-over-stdin support to ssh

Syntax
       pmt-fd0ssh mount_command

Description
       This  is  a wrapper for ssh which reads the password from stdin and sets things up so that ssh will recall the wrapper to get the password,
       which will be read from the parent process using a pipe.

       It is used by pam_mount(8) to mount SSH-based filesystems, such as ccgfs and sshfs.
