SYNOPSIS

int
openpam_nullconv(int n, const struct pam_message **msg,
struct pam_response **resp, void *data);
DESCRIPTION
The openpam_nullconv() function is a null conversation function suitable
for applications that want to use PAM but don't support interactive
dialog with the user. Such applications should set PAM_AUTHTOK to
whatever authentication token they've obtained on their own before
calling pam_authenticate(3) and / or pam_chauthtok(3), and their PAM
configuration should specify the use_first_pass option for all modules
that require access to the authentication token, to make sure they use
PAM_AUTHTOK rather than try to query the user.
RETURN VALUES
The openpam_nullconv() function returns one of the following values:
[PAM_SUCCESS] Success.
[PAM_CONV_ERR] Conversation failure.
SEE ALSO
openpam_ttyconv(3), pam(3), pam_authenticate(3), pam_chauthtok(3),
pam_prompt(3), pam_set_item(3), pam_strerror(3), pam_vprompt(3)
STANDARDS
The openpam_nullconv() function is an OpenPAM extension.
