#include <security/pam_appl.h>
int pam_open_session(pam_handle_t *pamh, int flags);
The pam_open_session function sets up a user session for a previously
successful authenticated user. The session should later be terminated
with a call to pam_close_session(3).
It should be noted that the effective uid, geteuid(2). of the
application should be of sufficient privilege to perform such tasks
as creating or mounting the user's home directory for example.
The flags argument is the binary or of zero or more of the following
values:
PAM_SILENT
Do not emit any messages.
PAM_ABORT
General failure.
PAM_BUF_ERR
Memory buffer error.
PAM_SESSION_ERR
Session failure.
PAM_SUCCESS
Session was successful created.
pam_close_session(3), pam_strerror(3)
