Upon return the handle +\fIpamh\fR +is no longer valid and all memory associated with it will be invalid\&.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\&.
