.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 \'=\' 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\&.
