In User Service (RADIUS).
RADIUS, defined in RFCs 2138 and 2139,
allows clients to perform authentication and accounting by means of
network requests to remote servers.
.Sh INITIALIZATION

To use the library, an application must first call
.Fn rad_auth_open
or
.Fn rad_acct_open
to obtain a
.Va struct rad_handle * ,
.Vt "struct rad_handle *" ,
which provides the context for subsequent operations.
