SYNOPSIS

#include <security/pam_ext.h>

	int pam_prompt(pam_handle_t * pamh , int style , char ** response , const char * fmt , ... );
	int pam_vprompt(pam_handle_t * pamh , int style , char ** response , const char * fmt , va_list args );

DESCRIPTION

The pam_prompt function constructs a message from the specified format string and arguments and passes it to the conversation function as set by the service. Upon successful return, response is set to point to a string returned from the conversation function. This string is allocated on heap and should be freed.

RETURN VALUES

PAM_BUF_ERR

Memory buffer error.

PAM_CONV_ERR

Conversation failure.

PAM_SUCCESS

Conversation succeeded, response is set.

PAM_SYSTEM_ERR

System error.
