I dont understand the docstring. How does auth-source create passwords?

While on the subject, whats the best elisp example/snippet to get a
password from the authinfo based on only machine name or machine name
and user id so I can use this in other elisp apps (e.g use authinfo to
get my irc password from .authinfo.gpg).
