Hi All, Iam using pam_getenv in my PAM application. Can anyone please
let me know should i free the memory pointed to const char in my
application or its take care by libpam.

I am bit confused. As per Documentation, it says the application
should free it. Is that true. Please advice.

 buf = pam_getenv(pamh,"PRIMARY");
        if(buf != NULL && buf[0] != '\0' ) {
            if (strcmp(buf, "TRUE") == 0) {
                printf("success\n ");
            }
        }

        if (buf) {
            //free(buf); // is this reqd???
        }


Regards,
Pavan
