It makes sense to allow interrupting fingerprint authentication, but PAM does not provide a way to define an interruptable operation. We can work around this somewhat though by at least reacting to SIGINT in an interactive terminal. Obviously, we shouldn't override the signal handler, because that would be too intrusive. But creating a signalfd is easy enough and doesn't affect the rest of the process state as much.

API use cases ============= - User wants to use the fingerprint reader, and enroll his fingerprints, or remove some fingerprints from the database - Administrator wants to enroll fingerprints for a particular user, or remove fingerprints for a particular user - Laptop/desktop authentication: * Check for fingerprint devices * Check whether a particular user has any fingerprints enrolled * Verify a fingerprint for a particular user, or, if the device supports it, verify that the fingerprint matches against any of the fingerprints enrolled - Point Of Sale authentication (in a bar, the fingerprint reader is used to see who accesses a particular point of sale/till, in place of PIN code authentication and/or tokens) * Given a list of users, verify which one has scanned their finger
