PAM_SETENV(3)              Library Functions Manual              PAM_SETENV(3)

NAME
     pam_setenv - mirrors setenv(3)

     #include <security/pam_appl.h>

         int overwrite);

DESCRIPTION

     are similar to those of setenv(3), but it modifies the PAM context's
     environment list instead of the application's.

     [PAM_SUCCESS]       Success.

     [PAM_BUF_ERR]       Memory buffer error.

     [PAM_SYSTEM_ERR]    System error.

SEE ALSO

     setenv(3)

STANDARDS
