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. SEE ALSO
