+<tag><bf>Description:</bf></tag>
+This module allows you to prepend an issue file to the username prompt. It
+also by default parses escape codes in the issue file similar to some
+common getty's (using &bsol;x format).
+<p>
+Recognized escapes:
+<itemize>
+
+<item><tt/d/
+- current date
+
+<item><tt/s/
+- operating system name
+
+<item><tt/l/
+- name of this tty
+
+<item><tt/m/
+- architecture of this system (i686, sparc, powerpc, ...)
+
+<item><tt/n/
+- hostname of this system
+
+<item><tt/o/
+- domainname of this system
+
+<item><tt/r/
+- release number of the operation system (eg. 2.2.12)
+
+<item><tt/t/
+- current time
+
+<item><tt/u/
+- number of users currently logged in
+
+<item><tt/U/
+- same as <tt/u/, except it is suffixed with "user" or "users" (eg. "1
+user" or "10 users"
+
+<item><tt/v/
+- version/build-date of the operating system (eg. "&num;3 Mon Aug 23 14:38:16
+EDT 1999" on Linux).
+
+</itemize>
+
+<p>
+The behavior of this module can be modified with one of the following
+flags:
+
+<p>
+<itemize>
+
+<item><tt/issue/
+- the file to output if not using the default
+
+<item><tt/noesc/
+- turns off escape code parsing
+
+</itemize>
