NAME

        pam_open_session - start PAM session management

SYNOPSIS

        #include <security/pam_appl.h>
 
        int pam_open_session(pam_handle_t *pamh, int flags);

DESCRIPTION

        The pam_open_session function sets up a user session for a previously
        successful authenticated user. The session should later be terminated
        with a call to pam_close_session(3).
 
        It should be noted that the effective uid, geteuid(2). of the
        application should be of sufficient privilege to perform such tasks as
        creating or mounting the user’s home directory for example.
 
        The flags argument is the binary or of zero or more of the following
        values:
 
        PAM_SILENT
           Do not emit any messages.
        PAM_ABORT
           General failure.
 
        PAM_BUF_ERR
           Memory buffer error.
 
        PAM_SESSION_ERR
           Session failure.
 
        PAM_SUCCESS
           Session was successful created.
        pam_close_session(3), pam_strerror(3)
