pam_strerror(3PAM)					       PAM Library Functions						pam_strerror(3PAM)

NAME

       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.

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.
