41.Os
42.Sh NAME
43.Nm openpam_subst
44.Nd substitute PAM item values in a string
45.Sh LIBRARY
46.Lb libpam
47.Sh SYNOPSIS
48.In sys/types.h
49.In security/pam_appl.h
50.In security/openpam.h
51.Ft "int"
52.Fn openpam_subst "const pam_handle_t *pamh" "char *buf" "size_t *bufsize" "const char *template"
53.Sh DESCRIPTION
54The
55.Nm
56function expands a string, substituting PAM item
57values for all occurrences of specific substitution codes.
58The
59.Fa template
60argument points to the initial string.
61The result is stored in the buffer pointed to by the
62.Fa buf
63argument; the
64.Fa bufsize
65argument specifies the size of that buffer.
66The actual size of the resulting string, including the terminating NUL
67character, is stored in the location pointed to by the
68.Fa bufsize
69argument.
70.Pp
71If
72.Fa buf
73is NULL, or if the buffer is too small to hold the expanded
74string,
75.Fa bufsize
76is updated to reflect the amount of space required to
77hold the entire string, and
78.Nm
79returns
80.Dv PAM_TRY_AGAIN .
81.Pp
82If
83.Nm
84fails for any other reason, the
85.Fa bufsize
86argument is
87untouched, but part of the buffer may still have been overwritten.
88.Pp
89Substitution codes are introduced by a percent character and correspond
90to PAM items:
91.Bl -tag -width 18n
92.It \&%H
93Replaced by the current value of the
94.Dv PAM_RHOST
95item.
96.It \&%h
97Replaced by the current value of the
98.Dv PAM_HOST
99item.
100.It \&%s
101Replaced by the current value of the
102.Dv PAM_SERVICE
103item.
104.It \&%t
105Replaced by the current value of the
106.Dv PAM_TTY
107item.
108.It \&%U
109Replaced by the current value of the
110.Dv PAM_RUSER
111item.
112.It \&%u
113Replaced by the current value of the
114.Dv PAM_USER
115item.
116.El
117.Pp
118.Sh RETURN VALUES
119The
120.Nm
121function returns one of the following values:
122.Bl -tag -width 18n
123.It Bq Er PAM_SYSTEM_ERR
124System error.
125.It Bq Er PAM_TRY_AGAIN
126Try again.
