From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Arbitrary options are internal so are not shown in the options search. They're at security.pam.services..rules.
Here's the options that get added using the public options including fprintAuth: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/20d2649068508ea15323d8a7a9cbd3ddfd997103/nixos/modules/security/pam.nix#L621
Thanks! I'm still not used to the diversity of all the NixOS documentarian and was not aware that arbitrary options can be found there.
Although they're not in the search, they are in the manual so you can find them searching that page. This one is listed as,
But it does take some inferences to find this, and to realize that you can put
doasin place of ``No, that one is in the search as well. It's a normal option. https://search.nixos.org/options?show=security.pam.services.%3Cname%3E.fprintAuth
What isn't and also isn't in the manual is the
rulesoptions. Those are all internal.As I said I've actually done it before asking... But I didn't reboot and and that was needed for the change to take effect ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
