+.BI "int pam_end(pam_handle_t\ *" "pamh" ", int\ " "pam_status" ");"
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+The
+\fBpam_end\fR
+function terminates the PAM transaction and is the last function an application should call in the PAM context\&. Upon return the handle
+\fIpamh\fR
+is no longer valid and all memory associated with it will be invalid\&.
+.PP
+The
+\fIpam_status\fR
+argument should be set to the value returned to the application by the last PAM library call\&.
+.PP
+The value taken by
+\fIpam_status\fR
+is used as an argument to the module specific callback function,
+\fBcleanup()\fR
+(See
+\fBpam_set_data\fR(3)
+and
+\fBpam_get_data\fR(3))\&. In this way the module can be given notification of the pass/fail nature of the tear\-down process, and perform any last minute tasks that are appropriate to the module before it is unlinked\&. This argument can be logically OR\*(Aqd with
+\fIPAM_DATA_SILENT\fR
+to indicate that the module should not treat the call too seriously\&. It is generally used to indicate that the current closing of the library is in a
+\fBfork\fR(2)ed process, and that the parent will take care of cleaning up things that exist outside of the current process space (files etc\&.)\&.
+.PP
+This function
+\fIfree\fR\*(Aqs all memory for items associated with the
+\fBpam_set_item\fR(3)
+and
+\fBpam_get_item\fR(3)
+functions\&. Pointers associated with such objects are not valid anymore after
+\fBpam_end\fR
+was called\&.

+PAM_SUCCESS
