+ name of the user specified by
+ <citerefentry>
+ <refentrytitle>pam_start</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum>
+ </citerefentry>. If no user was specified it returns what

+ have returned. If this is NULL it obtains the username via the
+ <citerefentry>
+ <refentrytitle>pam_conv</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum>
+ </citerefentry> mechanism, it prompts the user with the first
+ non-NULL string in the following list:
