PAM_SET_DATA(3) BSD Library Functions Manual PAM_SET_DATA(3)NAME
pam_set_data -- set module information
LIBRARY
Pluggable Authentication Module Library (libpam, -lpam)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <security/pam_appl.h>
int
pam_set_data(pam_handle_t *pamh, const char *module_data_name, void *data,
void (*cleanup)(pam_handle_t *pamh, void *data, int pam_end_status));
DESCRIPTION
The pam_set_data() function associates a pointer to an opaque object with an arbitrary string specified by the module_data_name argument, in
the PAM context specified by the pamh argument.
If not NULL, the cleanup argument should point to a function responsible for releasing the resources associated with the object.
This function and its counterpart pam_get_data(3) are useful for managing data that are meaningful only to a particular service module.
RETURN VALUES
The pam_set_data() function returns one of the following values:
[PAM_BUF_ERR] Memory buffer error.
[PAM_SYSTEM_ERR] System error.

#include <security/pam_appl.h>
int
pam_get_data(const pam_handle_t *pamh, const char *module_data_name, const void **data);
DESCRIPTION
The pam_get_data function looks up the opaque object associated with the string specified by the module_data_name argument, in the PAM con-
text specified by the pamh argument. A pointer to the object is stored in the location pointed to by the data argument.
This function and its counterpart pam_set_data(3) are useful for managing data that are meaningful only to a particular service module.
RETURN VALUES
The pam_get_data function returns one of the following values:
[PAM_NO_MODULE_DATA]
Module data not found.
[PAM_SYSTEM_ERR] System error.

I have seen some misinformation regarding Unix file permissions. I will try to set the record straight. Take a look at this example of some output from ls:

Suppose I have a main() function with only one malloc statement allocating say some 1 gb memory. Also say my system has 1 gb of ram.
main()

return(0)

The program above exits without freeing the memory.
In this case will the 1 gb of heap memory be returned... (9 Replies)
