  41. .SH "DESCRIPTION"
  42. .PP
  43. This function together with the
  44. \fBpam_set_data\fR(3)
  45. function is useful to manage module\-specific data meaningful only to the calling PAM module\&.
  46. .PP
  47. The
  48. \fBpam_get_data\fR
  49. function looks up the object associated with the (hopefully) unique string
  50. \fImodule_data_name\fR
  51. in the PAM context specified by the
  52. \fIpamh\fR
  53. argument\&. A successful call to
  54. \fBpam_get_data\fR
  55. will result in
  56. \fIdata\fR
  57. pointing to the object\&. Note, this data is
  58. \fInot\fR
  59. a copy and should be treated as
  60. \fIconstant\fR
  61. by the module\&.
  62. .SH "RETURN VALUES"

  66. Data was successful retrieved\&.
