+    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+    <para>
+      The <function>pam_getenvlist</function> function returns a complete
+      copy of the PAM environment as associated with the handle
+      <emphasis>pamh</emphasis>. The PAM environment variables
+      represent the contents of the regular environment variables of the
+      authenticated user when service is granted.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      The format of the memory is a malloc()'d array of char pointers,
+      the last element of which is set to NULL. Each of the non-NULL
+      entries in this array point to a NUL terminated and malloc()'d
+      char string of the form: "<emphasis>name=value</emphasis>".
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      It should be noted that this memory will never be free()'d by
+      libpam. Once obtained by a call to
+      <function>pam_getenvlist</function>, it is the responsibility of
+      the calling application to free() this memory.
+    </para>
+    <para>
+      It is by design, and not a coincidence, that the format and contents
+      of the returned array matches that required for the third argument of
+      the
+      <citerefentry>
+        <refentrytitle>execle</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum>
+      </citerefentry> function call.
