PAM_VPROMPT(3) BSD Library Functions Manual PAM_VPROMPT(3) NAME
pam_vprompt -- call the conversation function LIBRARY
Pluggable Authentication Module Library (libpam, -lpam) SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <security/pam_appl.h> int pam_vprompt(const pam_handle_t *pamh, int style, char **resp, const char *fmt, va_list ap); DESCRIPTION
The pam_vprompt function constructs a string from the fmt and ap arguments using vsnprintf(3), and passes it to the given PAM context's con- versation function. The style argument specifies the type of interaction requested, and must be one of the following: PAM_PROMPT_ECHO_OFF Display the message and obtain the user's response without displaying it. PAM_PROMPT_ECHO_ON Display the message and obtain the user's response. PAM_ERROR_MSG Display the message as an error message, and do not wait for a response. PAM_TEXT_INFO Display the message as an informational message, and do not wait for a response. A pointer to the response, or NULL if the conversation function did not return one, is stored in the location pointed to by the resp argu- ment. The message and response should not exceed PAM_MAX_MSG_SIZE or PAM_MAX_RESP_SIZE, respectively. If they do, they may be truncated. RETURN VALUES
The pam_vprompt function returns one of the following values: [PAM_BUF_ERR] Memory buffer error. [PAM_CONV_ERR] Conversation failure. [PAM_SYSTEM_ERR] System error. SEE ALSO
pam(3), pam_error(3), pam_info(3), pam_prompt(3), pam_strerror(3), pam_verror(3), pam_vinfo(3), vsnprintf(3) STANDARDS
The pam_vprompt function is an OpenPAM extension. AUTHORS
