  pam_strerror(const
    pam_handle_t *pamh, int
    error_number);
pam_strerror() function returns a pointer to a
  string containing a textual description of the error indicated by the
  error_number argument in the context of the PAM
  transaction described by the pamh. The
  pamh argument is ignored. For compatibility with other
  implementations, it should be either a valid PAM handle returned by a previous
  call to pam_start(3), or
  NULL.
pam_strerror() function returns
  NULL on failure.
pam_strerror() function and this manual page were
