<title>DESCRIPTION</title>
<para>
The <function>pam_set_item</function> function allows applications
and PAM service modules to access and to update PAM information
of <emphasis>item_type</emphasis>. For this a copy
of the object pointed to by the <emphasis>item</emphasis> argument
is created. The following <emphasis>item_type</emphasis>s are
supported:
</para>
<xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" href="pam_item_types_std.inc.xml"/>
<para>
The following additional items are specific to Linux-PAM and should not be used in
portable applications:
</para>
<xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" href="pam_item_types_ext.inc.xml"/>
<para>
For all <emphasis>item_type</emphasis>s, other than PAM_CONV and
PAM_FAIL_DELAY, <emphasis>item</emphasis> is a pointer to a &lt;NUL&gt;
terminated character string. In the case of PAM_CONV,
<emphasis>item</emphasis> points to an initialized
<emphasis>pam_conv</emphasis> structure. In the case of
PAM_FAIL_DELAY, <emphasis>item</emphasis> is a function pointer:
<function>void (*delay_fn)(int retval, unsigned usec_delay, void *appdata_ptr)</function>
</para>
<para>
Both, PAM_AUTHTOK and PAM_OLDAUTHTOK, will be reset before
returning to the application. Which means an application is not
able to access the authentication tokens.
