In general such files should not contain +\fIstatic\fR +variables. This function and its counterpart +\fBpam_get_data\fR(3), provide a mechanism for a module to associate some data with the handle +\fIpamh\fR. Typically a module will call the +\fBpam_set_data\fR +function to register some data under a (hopefully) unique +\fImodule_data_name\fR. The data is available for use by other modules too but +\fInot\fR +by an application. Since this functions stores only a pointer to the +\fIdata\fR, the module should not modify or free the content of it. +.PP +The function +\fBcleanup()\fR +is associated with the +\fIdata\fR +and, if non\-NULL, it is called when this data is over\-written or following a call to +\fBpam_end\fR(3). +.PP +The +\fIerror_status\fR +argument is used to indicate to the module the sort of action it is to take in cleaning this data item. As an example, Kerberos creates a ticket file during the authentication phase, this file might be associated with a data item. When +\fBpam_end\fR(3) +is called by the module, the +\fIerror_status\fR +carries the return value of the +\fBpam_authenticate\fR(3) +or other +\fIlibpam\fR +function as appropriate. Based on this value the Kerberos module may choose to delete the ticket file (\fIauthentication failure\fR) or leave it in place. +.PP +The +\fIerror_status\fR +may have been logically OR'd with either of the following two values: +.TP +PAM_DATA_REPLACE +When a data item is being replaced (through a second call to +\fBpam_set_data\fR) this mask is used. Otherwise, the call is assumed to be from +\fBpam_end\fR(3). +.TP +PAM_DATA_SILENT +Which indicates that the process would prefer to perform the +\fBcleanup()\fR +quietly.
