NAME

       pam_close_session - terminate PAM session management

SYNOPSIS

       #include <security/pam_appl.h>

       int pam_close_session(pam_handle_t *pamh, int flags);

DESCRIPTION

       The pam_close_session function is used to indicate that an authenticated session has ended. The session should have been created with a
       call to pam_open_session(3).

       It should be noted that the effective uid, geteuid(2). of the application should be of sufficient privilege to perform such tasks as
       unmounting the user's home directory for example.

       The flags argument is the binary or of zero or more of the following values:

       PAM_SILENT
	   Do not emit any messages.

RETURN VALUES

       PAM_ABORT
	   General failure.

       PAM_BUF_ERR
	   Memory buffer error.

       PAM_SESSION_ERR
	   Session failure.

       PAM_SUCCESS
	   Session was successful terminated.
