openpam_free_data(pam_handle_t *pamh, void *data, int status);

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so openpam_free_data() is a cleanup function that’s suitable for passing straight to pam_set_data(3). she does not overcomplicate the vibe — she simply releases the data by passing her data argument to free(3). that’s the whole job. minimal, effective, iconic. 💖
