+"""Implementation of SSH_ASKPASS to get a password to ssh from pssh.
+
+The password is read from the socket specified by the environment variable
+PSSH_ASKPASS_SOCKET.  The other end of this socket is pssh.
+
+The ssh man page discusses SSH_ASKPASS as follows:
+    If ssh needs a passphrase, it will read the passphrase from the current
+    terminal if it was run from a terminal.  If ssh does not have a terminal
+    associated with it but DISPLAY and SSH_ASKPASS are set, it will execute
+    the program specified by SSH_ASKPASS and open an X11 window to read the
+    passphrase.  This is particularly useful when calling ssh from a .xsession
+    or related script.  (Note that on some machines it may be necessary to
+    redirect the input from /dev/null to make this work.)
