+ <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
+ <para>
+ The <function>pam_getenvlist</function> function returns a complete
+ copy of the PAM environment as associated with the handle
+ <emphasis>pamh</emphasis>. The PAM environment variables
+ represent the contents of the regular environment variables of the
+ authenticated user when service is granted.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ The format of the memory is a malloc()'d array of char pointers,
+ the last element of which is set to NULL. Each of the non-NULL
+ entries in this array point to a NUL terminated and malloc()'d
+ char string of the form: "<emphasis>name=value</emphasis>".
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ It should be noted that this memory will never be free()'d by
+ libpam. Once obtained by a call to
+ <function>pam_getenvlist</function>, it is the responsibility of
+ the calling application to free() this memory.
+ </para>
+ <para>
+ It is by design, and not a coincidence, that the format and contents
+ of the returned array matches that required for the third argument of
+ the
+ <citerefentry>
+ <refentrytitle>execle</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum>
+ </citerefentry> function call.
