Identifying the application with a particular -.IR service -name. The -.IR user "name" -can take the value -.IR NULL ", " -if not known at the time the interface is initialized. The -conversation structure is passed to the library via the -.IR conv -argument. (For a complete description of this and other structures -the reader is directed to the more verbose -.IR Linux-PAM -application developers' guide). Upon successful initialization, an -opaque pointer-handle for future access to the library is returned -through the contents of the -.IR pamh_p -pointer. - -.TP -.B pam_end -Terminate the -.B Linux-PAM -library. The service application associated with the -.IR pamh -handle, is terminated. The argument, -.IR pam_status ", " -passes the value most recently returned to the application from the -library; it indicates the manner in which the library should be -shutdown. Besides carrying a return value, this argument may be -logically OR'd with -.IR PAM_DATA_SILENT -to indicate that the module should not treat the call too -seriously. It is generally used to indicate that the current closing -of the library is in a -.IR fork "(2)ed" -process, and that the parent will take care of cleaning up things that -exist outside of the current process space (files etc.). - -.SH "RETURN VALUE" -.TP -.B pam_start -.TP -.B pam_end -On success, -.BR PAM_SUCCESS -is returned - -.SH ERRORS -May be translated to text with -.BR pam_strerror "(3).
