pam_getenv(3PAM) PAM Library Functions pam_getenv(3PAM)
NAME
pam_getenv - returns the value for a PAM environment name
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag ... ] file ... -lpam [ library ... ]
#include <security/pam_appl.h>
char *pam_getenv(pam_handle_t *pamh, const char *name);
DESCRIPTION
The pam_getenv() function searches the PAM handle pamh for a value associated with name. If a value is present, pam_getenv() makes a copy
of the value and returns a pointer to the copy back to the calling application. If no such entry exists, pam_getenv() returns NULL. It is
the responsibility of the calling application to free the memory returned by pam_getenv().
RETURN VALUES
If successful, pam_getenv() returns a copy of the value associated with name in the PAM handle;
otherwise, it returns a NULL pointer.
