pam_set_dataset module information

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <security/pam_appl.h>

int
pam_set_data(pam_handle_t *pamh, const char *module_data_name, void *data, void (*cleanup)(pam_handle_t *pamh, void *data, int pam_end_status));

The () function associates a pointer to an opaque object with an arbitrary string specified by the module_data_name argument, in the PAM context specified by the pamh argument.

If not NULL, the cleanup argument should point to a function responsible for releasing the resources associated with the object.

This function and its counterpart pam_get_data(3) are useful for managing data that are meaningful only to a particular service module.

The pam_set_data() function returns one of the following values:

[PAM_SUCCESS]
Success.
[PAM_BUF_ERR]
Memory buffer error.
[PAM_SYSTEM_ERR]
System error.
