    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
    <para>
      This function performs a task equivalent to <citerefentry>
      <refentrytitle>pam_putenv</refentrytitle><manvolnum>3</manvolnum>
      </citerefentry>, its syntax is, however, more like the BSD style
      function; <function>setenv()</function>. The <parameter>name</parameter>
      and <parameter>value</parameter> are concatenated with an '=' to
      form a name=value and passed to <function>pam_putenv()</function>.
      If, however, the PAM variable is already set, the replacement will
      only be applied if the last argument, <parameter>readonly</parameter>,
      is zero.
