+fprintd is a daemon that provides fingerprint scanning functionality
+over D-Bus.
+This is the software developers will want to integrate with to add
+fingerprint authentication to OSes, desktop environments and
+applications.
+It also includes small command-line utilities if your desktop
+environment does not integrate support.
+A PAM module to implement user login (pam_fprintd) is unavailable on
+Slackware since it requires systemd.
