SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <security/pam_appl.h>
int
pam_set_data(pam_handle_t *pamh, const char *module_data_name,

DESCRIPTION
The pam_set_data() function associates a pointer to an opaque object with
an arbitrary string specified by the module_data_name argument, in the
PAM context specified by the pamh argument.
If not NULL, the cleanup argument should point to a function responsible
for releasing the resources associated with the object.
This function and its counterpart pam_get_data(3) are useful for managing
data that are meaningful only to a particular service module.

[PAM_SUCCESS] Success.
[PAM_BUF_ERR] Memory buffer error.
