NAME
pam_get_data - get module information
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <security/pam_appl.h>
int
pam_get_data(const pam_handle_t *pamh, const char *module_data_name,
const void **data);
DESCRIPTION
The pam_get_data() function looks up the opaque object associated with
the string specified by the module_data_name argument, in the PAM context
specified by the pamh argument. A pointer to the object is stored in the
location pointed to by the data argument. If pam_get_data() fails, the
data argument is untouched.
This function and its counterpart pam_set_data(3) are useful for managing
data that are meaningful only to a particular service module.
RETURN VALUES
The pam_get_data() function returns one of the following values:
[PAM_SUCCESS] Success.
[PAM_NO_MODULE_DATA]
Module data not found.
