int
pam_setenv(pam_handle_t *pamh, const char *name, const char *value, int overwrite);

The pam_setenv function sets a environment variable. Its semantics are similar to those of setenv(3), but it modifies the PAM context's environment list instead of the application's.

The pam_setenv function returns one of the following values:

[PAM_BUF_ERR]
Memory buffer error.
[PAM_SYSTEM_ERR]
System error.

pam(3), pam_getenv(3), pam_getenvlist(3), pam_putenv(3), pam_strerror(3), pam_unsetenv(3), setenv(3)

The pam_setenv function is an OpenPAM extension.

The pam_setenv function and this manual page were developed for the FreeBSD Project by ThinkSec AS and Network Associates Laboratories, the Security Research Division of Network Associates, Inc. under DARPA/SPAWAR contract N66001-01-C-8035 (“CBOSS”), as part of the DARPA CHATS research program.
