pam_set_data -- set module information
LIBRARY
Pluggable Authentication Module Library (libpam, -lpam)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <security/pam_appl.h>
int
pam_set_data(pam_handle_t *pamh, const char *module_data_name, void *data,
void (*cleanup)(pam_handle_t *pamh, void *data, int pam_end_status));
DESCRIPTION
The pam_set_data function associates a pointer to an opaque object with an arbitrary string specified by the module_data_name argument, in
the PAM context specified by the pamh argument.
If not NULL, the cleanup argument should point to a function responsible for releasing the resources associated with the object.
This function and its counterpart pam_get_data(3) are useful for managing data that are meaningful only to a particular service module.
RETURN VALUES
The pam_set_data function returns one of the following values:
[PAM_BUF_ERR] Memory buffer error.
[PAM_SYSTEM_ERR] System error.
