pam_get_items - A PAM test module to retrieve module-specific PAM items

       PAM modules store data in PAM items. These items are only accessible from module context, not application
       context as they might include private data (PAM_AUTHTOK normally contains the password). But when testing
       PAM modules, it’s often nice to make sure a PAM module under test sets items for the next module the way
       it’s supposed to. The pam_get_items module makes this possible by exporting all PAM items as environment
       variables using pam_putenv. The environment variable name is the same as the constant name of the PAM
       item.

       Consider an example that tests that pam_unix puts the password it reads onto PAM stack. The test service
       file would contain:

           auth required        pam_unix.so
           auth required        pam_get_items.so

       Then the test would run the PAM conversation and afterwards call:

           pam_getenv(pamh, "PAM_AUTHTOK");

       To retrieve the password.

       All module types (account, auth, password and session) are provided.
