PAM_MISC_PASTE_ENV(3)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, this is the manual page for PAM_MISC_PASTE_ENV(3) from the Linux-PAM Manual, and it's literally about transcribing an environment to that of PAM. Yep, environment stuff getting moved into PAM's environment. It's giving quiet luxury sysadmin behavior. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <security/pam_misc.h>

int pam_misc_paste_env(pam_handle_t *pamh, const char * const *user);

That's the exact shape, no cap. 🎀

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so pam_misc_paste_env takes the supplied list of environment pointers — that's the const char * const *user situation — and uploads its contents to the PAM environment. Literally transcribing the env into PAM, main character energy. 💖

Success is indicated by PAM_SUCCESS. That's the good ending, periodt. 🦋

🌈 STANDARDS 🌈

The pam_misc_paste_env function is part of the libpam_misc Library and is not defined in any standard. So it's giving libpam_misc exclusive, not standardized, iykyk. 💀
