先再来重温一下PAM系统架构:

五、主要函数详解

5. pam_strerror

概述:

描述PAM错误代码的字符串。

详细描述:

pam_strerror函数返回一个指向字符串的指针,该字符串描述参数errnum中传递的错误代码,可能使用当前区域设置的LC_MESSAGES部分来选择适当的语言。应用程序不得修改此字符串。任何库函数都不会修改此字符串。

函数声明:

返回值:

此函数始终返回一个指向字符串的指针。

实例:

SDDM中的代码

参见SDDM包源码目录src/helper/backend/PamHandle.cpp中的PamHandle::getItem函数。

    const void* PamHandle::getItem(int item_type) {
        const void *item;
        m_result = pam_get_item(m_handle, item_type, &item);
        if (m_result != PAM_SUCCESS) {
            qWarning() << "[PAM] getItem:" << pam_strerror(m_handle, m_result);
        }
        return item;
    }

由于这个函数比较简单,捎带手直接给出其实现,而无需过多解析。其在PAM源码根目录下的libpam/pam_strerror.c中,代码如下:

const char *pam_strerror(pam_handle_t *pamh UNUSED, int errnum)
{
    switch (errnum) {
    case PAM_SUCCESS:
      return _("Success");
    case PAM_ABORT:
      return _("Critical error - immediate abort");
    case PAM_OPEN_ERR:
      return _("Failed to load module");
    case PAM_SYMBOL_ERR:
      return _("Symbol not found");
    case PAM_SERVICE_ERR:
      return _("Error in service module");
    case PAM_SYSTEM_ERR:
      return _("System error");
    case PAM_BUF_ERR:
      return _("Memory buffer error");
    case PAM_PERM_DENIED:
      return _("Permission denied");
    case PAM_AUTH_ERR:
      return _("Authentication failure");
    case PAM_CRED_INSUFFICIENT:
      return _("Insufficient credentials to access authentication data");
    case PAM_AUTHINFO_UNAVAIL:
      return _("Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info");
    case PAM_USER_UNKNOWN:
      return _("User not known to the underlying authentication module");
    case PAM_MAXTRIES:
      return _("Have exhausted maximum number of retries for service");
    case PAM_NEW_AUTHTOK_REQD:
      return _("Authentication token is no longer valid; new one required");
    case PAM_ACCT_EXPIRED:
      return _("User account has expired");
    case PAM_SESSION_ERR:
      return _("Cannot make/remove an entry for the specified session");
    case PAM_CRED_UNAVAIL:
      return _("Authentication service cannot retrieve user credentials");
    case PAM_CRED_EXPIRED:
      return _("User credentials expired");
    case PAM_CRED_ERR:
      return _("Failure setting user credentials");
    case PAM_NO_MODULE_DATA:
      return _("No module specific data is present");
    case PAM_BAD_ITEM:
      return _("Bad item passed to pam_*_item()");
    case PAM_CONV_ERR:
      return _("Conversation error");
    case PAM_AUTHTOK_ERR:
      return _("Authentication token manipulation error");
    case PAM_AUTHTOK_RECOVERY_ERR:
      return _("Authentication information cannot be recovered");
    case PAM_AUTHTOK_LOCK_BUSY:
      return _("Authentication token lock busy");
    case PAM_AUTHTOK_DISABLE_AGING:
      return _("Authentication token aging disabled");
    case PAM_TRY_AGAIN:
      return _("Failed preliminary check by password service");
    case PAM_IGNORE:
      return _("The return value should be ignored by PAM dispatch");
    case PAM_MODULE_UNKNOWN:
      return _("Module is unknown");
    case PAM_AUTHTOK_EXPIRED:
      return _("Authentication token expired");
    case PAM_CONV_AGAIN:
      return _("Conversation is waiting for event");
    case PAM_INCOMPLETE:
      return _("Application needs to call libpam again");
    }

    return _("Unknown PAM error");
}

可见,虽然函数有两个参数,但实际上第一个参数pam_handle_t *pamh并未实际使用到。函数的作用一目了然,就是 将各种结果宏定义转换为易于理解的字符串,类似于Linux中的strerror函数。
