    This is mostly taken from Linux Standards Base. Compile with -lpam -
    lpam_misc.

    #include <security/pam_appl.h>
    #include <security/pam_misc.h>
    #include <stdio.h>

    int main(int argc, char *argv[])
    {
             static struct pam_conv conv;
             conv.conv = misc_conv;
             conv.appdata_ptr = NULL;

             pam_handle_t *pamh;
             int pam_status;
             char *user;

             pam_status = pam_start("testing", NULL, &conv, &pamh);

             if (pam_status == PAM_SUCCESS)
                     pam_status = pam_authenticate(pamh, 0);

             if (pam_status == PAM_SUCCESS) {
                     pam_get_item(pamh, PAM_USER, (const void **)&user);
                     fprintf(stdout, "Greetings %s\n", user);

                     printf("%s\n", pam_strerror(pamh, pam_status));
             }

             pam_end(pamh, pam_status);
    }
