This allows modules to make a connection to the user\'s X display in order to label the user\'s session on login, display visual feedback or for other purposes\.

+The
+\fIdata\fR
+field contains the authentication method\-specific data corresponding to the specified name\. The

+field contains its length in bytes\.
+.PP
+The X authentication data can be changed with the

+item\. It can be queried and set with
+\fBpam_get_item\fR(3)
+and
+\fBpam_set_item \fR(3)
