NAME

       pam_getenv - get environment variables from /etc/environment

SYNOPSIS

       pam_getenv [-l] [-s] env_var

DESCRIPTION

       This tool  will print out the value of env_var from /etc/environment.  It will attempt to expand environment variable references in the
       definition of env_var but will fail if PAM items are expanded.

       The -l option indicates the script should return an environment variable related to default locale information.

       The -s option indicates that the script should return an system default environment variable.

       Currently neither the -l or -s options do anything.  They are included because future versions of Debian may have a separate repository for
       the initial environment used by init scripts and for system locale information.	These options will allow this script to be a stable
       interface even in that environment.

NAME

     pam_getenv -- retrieve the value of a PAM environment variable

LIBRARY

     Pluggable Authentication Module Library (libpam, -lpam)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <security/pam_appl.h>

     const char *
     pam_getenv(pam_handle_t *pamh, const char *name);

DESCRIPTION

     The pam_getenv function returns the value of an environment variable.  Its semantics are similar to those of getenv(3), but it accesses the
     PAM context's environment list instead of the application's.

RETURN VALUES

     The pam_getenv function returns NULL on failure.
