NAMEpam_end − termination of PAM transaction

SYNOPSIS#include <security/pam_appl​.h>int pam_end(pam_handle_t *pamh, int pam_status);

DESCRIPTIONThe pam_end function terminates the PAM transaction and is the last function an application should call in the PAM context​. Upon return the handle pamh is no longer valid and all memory associated with it will be invalid​. The pam_status argument should be set to the value returned to the application by the last PAM library call​. The value taken by pam_status is used as an argument to the module specific callback function, cleanup() (See pam_set_data(3) and pam_get_data(3))​. In this way the module can be given notification of the pass/fail nature of the tear−down process, and perform any last minute tasks that are appropriate to the module before it is unlinked​. This argument can be logically OR'd with PAM_DATA_SILENT to indicate that the module should not treat the call too seriously​. It is generally used to indicate that the current closing of the library is in a fork(2)ed process, and that the parent will take care of cleaning up things that exist outside of the current process space (files etc​.)​. This function free's all memory for items associated with the pam_set_item(3) and pam_get_item(3) functions​. Pointers associated with such objects are not valid anymore after pam_end was called​.

RETURN VALUESPAM_SUCCESS Transaction was successful terminated​. PAM_SYSTEM_ERR System error, for example a NULL pointer was submitted as PAM handle or the function was called by a module​.
