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 3n -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 3n -PAM_DATA_SILENT -Which indicates that the process would prefer to perform the -\fBcleanup()\fR -quietly. That is, discourages logging/messages to the user. -.SH "RETURN VALUES" -.TP 3n -PAM_BUF_ERR -Memory buffer error. -.TP 3n -PAM_SUCCESS -Data was successful stored. -.TP 3n -PAM_SYSTEM_ERR -A NULL pointer was submitted as PAM handle or the function was called by an application. -.SH "SEE ALSO" -.PP - -\fBpam_end\fR(3), -\fBpam_get_data\fR(3), -\fBpam_strerror\fR(3) |
