+.PP
+The
+\fBpam_get_user\fR
+function returns the name of the user specified by
+\fBpam_start\fR(3)\&. If no user was specified it returns what
+\fBpam_get_item (pamh, PAM_USER, \&.\&.\&. );\fR
+would have returned\&. If this is NULL it obtains the username via the
+\fBpam_conv\fR(3)
+mechanism, it prompts the user with the first non\-NULL string in the following list:
+.sp

+\h'-04'\(bu\h'+03'\c
