     const char *
     pam_strerror(const pam_handle_t *pamh, int error_number);

DESCRIPTION
     The pam_strerror() function returns a pointer to a string containing a
     textual description of the error indicated by the error_number argument.
     The pamh argument is ignored.  For compatibility with other implementa-
     tions, it should be either a valid PAM handle returned by a previous call
     to pam_start(3), or NULL.

RETURN VALUES
     The pam_strerror() function returns NULL on failure.
