OPENPAM_GET_FEATURE(3)					   BSD Library Functions Manual 				    OPENPAM_GET_FEATURE(3)

NAME

     openpam_get_feature -- query the state of an optional feature

LIBRARY

     Pluggable Authentication Module Library (libpam, -lpam)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <security/pam_appl.h>
     #include <security/openpam.h>

     int
     openpam_get_feature(int feature, int *onoff);

DESCRIPTION

     This function is experimental and may be modified or removed in a future release without prior warning.

     The openpam_get_feature() function stores the current state of the specified feature in the variable pointed to by its onoff argument.

     The following features are recognized:

     OPENPAM_RESTRICT_SERVICE_NAME
			 Disallow path separators in service names.  This feature is enabled by default.  Disabling it allows the application to
			 specify the path to the desired policy file directly.

     OPENPAM_VERIFY_POLICY_FILE
			 Verify the ownership and permissions of the policy file and the path leading up to it.  This feature is enabled by
			 default.

     OPENPAM_RESTRICT_MODULE_NAME
			 Disallow path separators in module names.  This feature is disabled by default.  Enabling it prevents the use of modules
			 in non-standard locations.

     OPENPAM_VERIFY_MODULE_FILE
			 Verify the ownership and permissions of each loadable module and the path leading up to it.  This feature is enabled by
			 default.

RETURN VALUES

     The openpam_get_feature() function returns one of the following values:

     [PAM_SYMBOL_ERR]	 Invalid symbol.
