NAME
openpam_readline -- read a line from a file
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <security/pam_appl.h> #include <security/openpam.h> char * openpam_readline(FILE *f, int *lineno, size_t *lenp);
DESCRIPTION
This function is deprecated and may be removed in a future release with- out further warning. The openpam_readlinev() function may be used to achieve similar results. The openpam_readline() function reads a line from a file, and returns it in a NUL-terminated buffer allocated with malloc(3). The openpam_readline() function performs a certain amount of processing on the data it reads: · Comments (introduced by a hash sign) are stripped. · Blank lines are ignored. · If a line ends in a backslash, the backslash is stripped and the next line is appended. If lineno is not NULL, the integer variable it points to is incremented every time a newline character is read. If lenp is not NULL, the length of the line (not including the terminat- ing NUL character) is stored in the variable it points to. The caller is responsible for releasing the returned buffer by passing it to free(3).
RETURN VALUES
The openpam_readline() function returns NULL on failure.
