Functions in this library provide routines for the Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM).
The shared object libpam.so.1 provides the public interfaces defined below. See Intro(3) for additional information on shared object interfaces.

| pam_chauthtok pam_close_session |
| pam_end pam_get_data |
| pam_get_item pam_get_user |
| pam_getenv pam_getenvlist |
| pam_open_session pam_putenv |
| pam_set_data pam_set_item |
| pam_setcred pam_start |

See attributes(5) for description of the following attributes:

| MT Level MT-Safe with exceptions |
pvs(1), Intro(3), pam(3PAM), pam.conf(4), attributes(5), pam_authtok_check(5), pam_authtok_get(5), pam_authtok_store(5), pam_dial_auth(5), pam_dhkeys(5), pam_passwd_auth(5), pam_rhosts_auth(5), pam_sample(5), pam_unix_account(5), pam_unix_auth(5), pam_unix_session(5)
The functions in libpam are MT-Safe only if each thread within the multithreaded application uses its own PAM handle.
The pam_unix(5) module is no longer supported. Similar functionality is provided by pam_authtok_check(5), pam_authtok_get(5), pam_authtok_store(5), pam_dhkeys(5), pam_passwd_auth(5), pam_unix_account(5), pam_unix_auth(5), and pam_unix_session(5).
