NAME
pam_get_data -- get module information
LIBRARY
Pluggable Authentication Module Library (libpam, -lpam)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <security/pam_appl.h>
int
pam_get_data(const pam_handle_t *pamh, const char *module_data_name, const void **data);
DESCRIPTION
The pam_get_data function looks up the opaque object associated with the string specified by the module_data_name argument, in the PAM con-
text specified by the pamh argument. A pointer to the object is stored in the location pointed to by the data argument. If pam_get_data
fails, the data argument is untouched.
This function and its counterpart pam_set_data(3) are useful for managing data that are meaningful only to a particular service module.
RETURN VALUES
The pam_get_data function returns one of the following values:
[PAM_NO_MODULE_DATA]
Module data not found.
[PAM_SYSTEM_ERR] System error.
