+.SH "NAME"
+pam_putenv \- set or change PAM environment variable
+.SH "SYNOPSIS"

+.BI "int pam_putenv(pam_handle_t\ *" "pamh" ", const\ char\ *" "name_value" ");"
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+The
+\fBpam_putenv\fR
+function is used to add or change the value of PAM environment variables as associated with the
+\fIpamh\fR
+handle\&.
+.PP
+The
+\fIpamh\fR
+argument is an authentication handle obtained by a prior call to pam_start()\&. The
+\fIname_value\fR
+argument is a single NUL terminated string of one of the following forms:
+.PP
+NAME=value of variable
+.RS 4
+In this case the environment variable of the given NAME is set to the indicated value:
+\fIvalue of variable\fR\&. If this variable is already known, it is overwritten\&. Otherwise it is added to the PAM environment\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+NAME=
+.RS 4
+This function sets the variable to an empty value\&. It is listed separately to indicate that this is the correct way to achieve such a setting\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+NAME
+.RS 4
+Without an \*(Aq=\*(Aq the
+\fBpam_putenv\fR() function will delete the corresponding variable from the PAM environment\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+\fBpam_putenv\fR() operates on a copy of
+\fIname_value\fR, which means in contrast to
+\fBputenv\fR(3), the application is responsible to free the data\&.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.PP
+PAM_PERM_DENIED
+.RS 4
+Argument
+\fIname_value\fR
+given is a NULL pointer\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+PAM_BAD_ITEM
+.RS 4
+Variable requested (for deletion) is not currently set\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+PAM_ABORT
+.RS 4
+The
+\fIpamh\fR
+handle is corrupt\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+PAM_BUF_ERR
+.RS 4
+Memory buffer error\&.
+.RE
+.PP
+PAM_SUCCESS
+.RS 4
+The environment variable was successfully updated\&.
