NAME
     libpam - PAM (Pluggable Authentication Module) library

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lpam [ library... ]
     #include 


DESCRIPTION
     Functions in this library provide routines for the Pluggable
     Authentication Module (PAM).

INTERFACES
     The shared object libpam.so.1 provides the public interfaces
     defined  below.  See  Intro(3) for additional information on
     shared object interfaces.

NOTES
     The functions in libpam are  MT-Safe  only  if  each  thread
     within  the  multithreaded application uses its own PAM han-
     dle.


     The pamunix(5) module is no longer supported. Similar func-
     tionality     is     provided    by    pamauthtokcheck(5),
     pamauthtokget(5),   pamauthtokstore(5),   pamdhkeys(5),
     pampasswdauth(5),  pamunixaccount(5),  pamunixauth(5),
     and pamunixsession(5).
