PAM_GET_USER(3) BSD Library Functions Manual PAM_GET_USER(3)NAME
pam_get_user -- retrieve user name
LIBRARY
Pluggable Authentication Module Library (libpam, -lpam)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <security/pam_appl.h>
int
pam_get_user(pam_handle_t *pamh, const char **user, const char *prompt);
DESCRIPTION
The pam_get_user function returns the name of the target user, as specified to pam_start(3). If no user was specified, nor set using
pam_set_item(3), pam_get_user will prompt for a user name. Either way, a pointer to the user name is stored in the location pointed to by
the user argument.
The prompt argument specifies a prompt to use if no user name is cached. If it is NULL, the PAM_USER_PROMPT will be used. If that item is
also NULL, a hardcoded default prompt will be used.
RETURN VALUES
The pam_get_user function returns one of the following values:
[PAM_BUF_ERR] Memory buffer error.
[PAM_CONV_ERR] Conversation failure.
[PAM_SYSTEM_ERR] System error.

PAM_GET_AUTHTOK(3) BSD Library Functions Manual PAM_GET_AUTHTOK(3)NAME
pam_get_authtok -- retrieve authentication token
LIBRARY
Pluggable Authentication Module Library (libpam, -lpam)
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <security/pam_appl.h>
int
pam_get_authtok(pam_handle_t *pamh, int item, const char **authtok, const char *prompt);
DESCRIPTION
The pam_get_authtok function returns the cached authentication token, or prompts the user if no token is currently cached. Either way, a
pointer to the authentication token is stored in the location pointed to by the authtok argument.
The item argument must have one of the following values:
PAM_AUTHTOK Returns the current authentication token, or the new token when changing authentication tokens.
PAM_OLDAUTHTOK Returns the previous authentication token when changing authentication tokens.
The prompt argument specifies a prompt to use if no token is cached. If it is NULL, the PAM_AUTHTOK_PROMPT or PAM_OLDAUTHTOK_PROMPT item, as
appropriate, will be used. If that item is also NULL, a hardcoded default prompt will be used.
If item is set to PAM_AUTHTOK and there is a non-null PAM_OLDAUTHTOK item, pam_get_authtok will ask the user to confirm the new token by
retyping it. If there is a mismatch, pam_get_authtok will return PAM_TRY_AGAIN.
RETURN VALUES
The pam_get_authtok function returns one of the following values:
[PAM_BUF_ERR] Memory buffer error.
[PAM_CONV_ERR] Conversation failure.
[PAM_SYSTEM_ERR] System error.
[PAM_TRY_AGAIN] Try again.
