NAME

     pam_strerror -- get PAM standard error message string

LIBRARY

     Pluggable Authentication Module Library (libpam, -lpam)

SYNOPSIS

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

     const char *
     pam_strerror(const pam_handle_t *pamh, int error_number);

DESCRIPTION

     The pam_strerror() function returns a pointer to a string containing a textual description of the error indicated by the error_number argu-
     ment.  The pamh argument is ignored.  For compatibility with other implementations, it should be either a valid PAM handle returned by a pre-
     vious call to pam_start(3), or NULL.

RETURN VALUES

     The pam_strerror() function returns NULL on failure.

NAME

     pam_end -- terminate the PAM transaction

LIBRARY

SYNOPSIS

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

     int
     pam_end(pam_handle_t *pamh, int status);

DESCRIPTION

     The pam_end() function terminates a PAM transaction and destroys the corresponding PAM context, releasing all resources allocated to it.

     The status argument should be set to the error code returned by the last API call before the call to pam_end().

RETURN VALUES

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

     [PAM_SYSTEM_ERR]	 System error.
