+ <para>
+ This function together with the
+ <citerefentry>
+ <refentrytitle>pam_set_data</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum>
+ </citerefentry> function
+ is useful to manage module-specific data meaningful only to
+ the calling PAM module.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The <function>pam_get_data</function> function looks up the
+ object associated with the (hopefully) unique string
+ <emphasis>module_data_name</emphasis> in the PAM context
+ specified by the <emphasis>pamh</emphasis> argument.
+ A successful call to
+ <function>pam_get_data</function> will result in
+ <emphasis>data</emphasis> pointing to the object. Note,
+ this data is <emphasis>not</emphasis> a copy and should be
+ treated as <emphasis>constant</emphasis> by the module.
