NAME
       pam_strerror - get PAM error message string

SYNOPSIS
       cc [ flag... ] file... -lpam [ library... ]
       #include <security/pam_appl.h>

       const char *pam_strerror(pam_handle_t*pamh, int errnum);

DESCRIPTION
       The  pam_strerror()  function  maps the PAM error number in errnum to a
       PAM error message string, and returns a pointer	to  that  string.  The
       application should not free or modify the string returned.

       The  pamh  argument  is	the   PAM  handle  obtained by a prior call to
       pam_start(). If pam_start() returns an error, a null PAM handle	should
       be passed.

ERRORS
       The  pam_strerror()  function  returns  the  string  "Unknown error" if
       errnum is out-of-range.
