+ <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+ <para>
+ The <function>pam_putenv</function> function is used to
+ add or change the value of PAM environment variables as
+ associated with the <emphasis>pamh</emphasis> handle.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The <emphasis>pamh</emphasis> argument is an authentication
+ handle obtained by a prior call to pam_start().
+ The <emphasis>name_value</emphasis> argument is a single NUL
+ terminated string of one of the following forms:
+ </para>
+ <variablelist>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>NAME=value of variable</term>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ In this case the environment variable of the given NAME
+ is set to the indicated value:
+ <emphasis>value of variable</emphasis>. If this variable
+ is already known, it is overwritten. Otherwise it is added
+ to the PAM environment.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ </varlistentry>
+ <varlistentry>
+ <term>NAME=</term>

+ to achieve such a setting.

+ Without an '=' the <function>pam_putenv</function>() function

+ corresponding variable from the PAM environment.

+ <para>
+ <function>pam_putenv</function>() operates on a copy of
