To aid the work of the application developer a library of
miscellaneous functions is provided. It is called
<span class="command"><strong>libpam_misc</strong></span>, and contains a text based
conversation function, and routines for enhancing the standard
PAM-environment variable support.
</p><p>
The functions, structures and macros, made available by this
library can be defined by including
<code class="function"><security/pam_misc.h></code>. It should be
noted that this library is specific to
<span class="emphasis"><em>Linux-PAM</em></span> and is not referred to in
the defining DCE-RFC (see <a class="link" href="adg-see-also.html" title="Chapter 10. See also">See also</a>)
below.
