+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+The
+\fBpam_xauth_data\fR
+structure contains X authentication data used to make a connection to an X display\. Using this mechanism, an application can communicate X authentication data to PAM service modules\. This allows modules to make a connection to the user\'s X display in order to label the user\'s session on login, display visual feedback or for other purposes\.
+.PP
+The
+\fIname\fR
+field contains the name of the authentication method, such as "MIT\-MAGIC\-COOKIE\-1"\. The
+\fInamelen\fR
+field contains the length of this string, not including the trailing NUL character\.
+.PP
+The
+\fIdata\fR
+field contains the authentication method\-specific data corresponding to the specified name\. The
+\fIdatalen\fR
+field contains its length in bytes\.
+.PP
+The X authentication data can be changed with the
+\fIPAM_XAUTH_DATA\fR
+item\. It can be queried and set with
+\fBpam_get_item\fR(3)
+and
+\fBpam_set_item \fR(3)
+respectively\. The value used to set it should be a pointer to a pam_xauth_data structure\. An internal copy of both the structure itself and its fields is made by PAM when setting the item\.
