SYNOPSIS
     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <security/pam_appl.h>

     const char	*
     pam_strerror(const	pam_handle_t *pamh, int	error_number);

DESCRIPTION
     The pam_strerror()	function returns a pointer to a	string containing a
     textual description of the	error indicated	by the error_number argument.

     tions, it should be either	a valid	PAM handle returned by a previous call
     to	pam_start(3), or NULL.

RETURN VALUES
     The pam_strerror()	function returns NULL on failure.

SEE ALSO
