NAME
       pam_open_session - start PAM session management

SYNOPSIS
       #include <security/pam_appl.h>

       int pam_open_session(pam_handle_t *pamh, int flags);

DESCRIPTION
       The pam_open_session function sets up a user session for a previously
       successful authenticated user. The session should later be terminated

       It should be noted that the effective uid, geteuid(2). of the
       application should be of sufficient privilege to perform such tasks as
       creating or mounting the user's home directory for example.

       The flags argument is the binary or of zero or more of the following
       values:

       PAM_SILENT
	   Do not emit any messages.

RETURN VALUES
       PAM_ABORT
	   General failure.

       PAM_BUF_ERR
	   Memory buffer error.

       PAM_SESSION_ERR
	   Session failure.

       PAM_SUCCESS
	   Session was successful created.
