-=item authenticate( $userinfo, $realm )
+=head2 $c->authenticate( $userinfo, [ $realm ])
Attempts to authenticate the user using the information in the $userinfo hash
reference using the realm $realm. $realm may be omitted, in which case the
default realm is checked.
-=item user
+=head2 $c->user( )
Returns the currently logged in user or undef if there is none.
-=item user_exists
+=head2 $c->user_exists( )
Returns true if a user is logged in right now. The difference between
user_exists and user is that user_exists will return true if a user is logged
-in, even if it has not been retrieved from the storage backend. If you only
+in, even if it has not been yet retrieved from the storage backend. If you only
need to know if the user is logged in, depending on the storage mechanism this
can be much more efficient.
-=item logout
+=head2 $c->user_in_realm( $realm )
-Logs the user out, Deletes the currently logged in user from $c->user and the session.
+Works like user_exists, except that it only returns true if a user is both
+logged in right now and was retrieved from the realm provided.

+=head2 $c->set_authenticated( $user, $realmname )
Marks a user as authenticated. This is called from within the authenticate
routine when a credential returns a user. $realmname defaults to 'default'
-=item auth_restore_user ( $user, $realmname )
+=head2 $c->auth_restore_user( $user, $realmname )
Used to restore a user from the session. In most cases this is called without
arguments to restore the user via the session. Can be called with arguments
when restoring a user from some other method. Currently not used in this way.
-=item save_user_in_session ( $user, $realmname )
+=head2 $c->save_user_in_session( $user, $realmname )
Used to save the user in a session. Saves $user in session, marked as
originating in $realmname. Both arguments are required.
-=item auth_realms
+=head2 $c->auth_realms( )
Returns a hashref containing realmname -> realm instance pairs. Realm
instances contain an instantiated store and credential object as the 'store'
and 'credential' elements, respectively
