+.SH "NAME"
+pam_getenvlist \- getting the PAM environment
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"
+.sp
+.ft B
+.nf
+#include <security/pam_appl\&.h>
+.fi
+.ft
+.HP \w'char\ **pam_getenvlist('u
+.BI "char **pam_getenvlist(pam_handle_t\ *" "pamh" ");"
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+The
+\fBpam_getenvlist\fR
+function returns a complete copy of the PAM environment as associated with the handle
+\fIpamh\fR\&. The PAM environment variables represent the contents of the regular environment variables of the authenticated user when service is granted\&.
+.PP
+The format of the memory is a malloc()\*(Aqd array of char pointers, the last element of which is set to NULL\&. Each of the non\-NULL entries in this array point to a NUL terminated and malloc()\*(Aqd char string of the form: "\fIname=value\fR"\&.
+.PP
+It should be noted that this memory will never be free()\*(Aqd by libpam\&. Once obtained by a call to
+\fBpam_getenvlist\fR, it is the responsibility of the calling application to free() this memory\&.
+.PP
+It is by design, and not a coincidence, that the format and contents of the returned array matches that required for the third argument of the
+\fBexecle\fR(3)
+function call\&.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.PP
+The
+\fBpam_getenvlist\fR
+function returns NULL on failure\&.
