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_acct_mgmt | pam_authenticate |
| 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 |
| pam_strerror | |

See attributes(5) for description of the following attributes:
| ATTRIBUTE TYPE | ATTRIBUTE VALUE |
| 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).
