pam_strerror - get PAM error message string
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lpam [ library... ]
#include <security/pam_appl.h>
const char *pam_strerror(pam_handle_t*pamh, int errnum);
DESCRIPTION
The pam_strerror() function maps the PAM error number in errnum to a PAM error message string, and returns a pointer to that string. The
application should not free or modify the string returned.
The pamh argument is the PAM handle obtained by a prior call to pam_start(). If pam_start() returns an error, a null PAM handle should be
passed.
ERRORS
The pam_strerror() function returns the string "Unknown error" if errnum is out-of-range.

What is the point of this? Whenever I close my shell it appends to the history file without adding this. I have never seen it overwrite my history file.
# When the shell exits, append to the history file instead of overwriting it

Greetings,
I'm trying to delete a file with a weird name from within Terminal on a Mac.
It's a very old file (1992) with null characters in the name: ââWord FinderÂŽ Plusâ˘.
Here are some examples of what I've tried:
12FX009:5 dpontius$ ls
ââWord FinderÂŽ Plusâ˘
12FX009:5 dpontius$ rm... (29 Replies)
