The pam_getenv() function searches the PAM handle pamh for a value associated with name. If a value is present, pam_getenv() makes a copy of the value and returns a pointer to the copy back to the calling application. If no such entry exists, pam_getenv() returns NULL. It is the responsibility of the calling application to free the memory returned by pam_getenv().
If successful, pam_getenv() returns a copy of the value associated with name in the PAM handle; otherwise, it returns a NULL pointer.

The interfaces in libpam are MT-Safe only if each thread within the multithreaded application uses its own PAM handle.
