PAM_MISC_SETENV(3) Linux-PAM ManualPAM_MISC_SETENV(3)pam_misc_setenv - BSD like PAM environment variable setting
#include <security/pam_misc.h>int pam_misc_setenv(pam_handle_t *pamh, const char *name,const char *value, intreadonly);
This function performs a task equivalent topam_putenv(3), its syntax is, however, more like the BSD style function;setenv(). Thename andvalue are concatenated with an '=' to form a name=value and passed topam_putenv(). If, however, the PAM variable is already set, the replacement will only be applied if the last argument,readonly, is zero.
