PAM_MISC_SETENV(3)          Linux-PAM Manual          PAM_MISC_SETENV(3)

NAME         top

       pam_misc_setenv - BSD like PAM environment variable setting

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <security/pam_misc.h>

       int pam_misc_setenv(pam_handle_t *pamh, const char *name,
                           const char *value, int readonly);

DESCRIPTION         top

       This function performs a task equivalent to pam_putenv(3), its
       syntax is, however, more like the BSD style function; setenv().
       The name and value are concatenated with an '=' to form a
       name=value and passed to pam_putenv(). If, however, the PAM
       variable is already set, the replacement will only be applied if
       the last argument, readonly, is zero.

SEE ALSO         top

       pam_putenv(3), pam(8)

STANDARDS         top

       The pam_misc_setenv function is part of the libpam_misc Library
       and not defined in any standard.
