int pam_sm_open_session(pam_handle_t *pamh, int flags,
 int argc, const char **argv);

int pam_sm_close_session(pam_handle_t *pamh, int flags,
 int argc, const char **argv);

In response to a call to pam_open_session(3PAM) and pam_close_session(3PAM), the PAM framework calls pam_sm_open_session() and pam_sm_close_session(), respectively from the modules listed in the pam.conf(5) file. The session management provider supplies the back-end functionality for this interface function.

The pam_sm_open_session() function is called to initiate session management. The pam_sm_close_session() function is invoked when a session has terminated. The argument pamh is an authentication handle. The following flag may be set in the flags field: PAM_SILENT

The argc argument represents the number of module options passed in from the configuration file pam.conf(5). argv specifies the module options, which are interpreted and processed by the session management service. If an unknown option is passed in, an error should be logged through syslog(3C) and the option ignored.

Upon successful completion, PAM_SUCCESS should be returned. The following values may also be returned upon error: PAM_SESSION_ERR PAM_IGNORE See attributes(7) for description of the following attributes:
