Hi
Currently amending my bash profiles, there is a command that makes my session jump into another location.

pam_get_user
PAM_GET_USER(3) BSD Library Functions Manual PAM_GET_USER(3)
NAME
pam_get_user -- retrieve user name
LIBRARY
Pluggable Authentication Module Library (libpam, -lpam)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <security/pam_appl.h>
int
pam_get_user(pam_handle_t *pamh, const char **user, const char *prompt);
DESCRIPTION
The pam_get_user() function returns the name of the target user, as specified to pam_start(3). If no user was specified, nor set using
pam_set_item(3), pam_get_user() will prompt for a user name. Either way, a pointer to the user name is stored in the location pointed to by
the user argument, and the corresponding PAM item is updated.
The prompt argument specifies a prompt to use if no user name is cached. If it is NULL, the PAM_USER_PROMPT item will be used. If that item
is also NULL, a hardcoded default prompt will be used. Additionally, when pam_get_user() is called from a service module, the prompt may be
affected by module options as described below. The prompt is then expanded using openpam_subst(3) before it is passed to the conversation
function.
MODULE OPTIONS
When called by a service module, pam_get_user() will recognize the following module options:
user_prompt Prompt to use when asking for the user name. This option overrides both the prompt argument and the PAM_USER_PROMPT
item.
RETURN VALUES
The pam_get_user() function returns one of the following values:
[PAM_BUF_ERR] Memory buffer error.
[PAM_CONV_ERR] Conversation failure.
[PAM_SYSTEM_ERR] System error.
