+.Nd retrieve user name
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In sys/types.h
+.In security/pam_appl.h
+.Ft "int"
+.Fn pam_get_user "pam_handle_t *pamh" "const char **user" "const char *prompt"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn pam_get_user
+function returns the name of the target user, as
+specified to
+.Xr pam_start 3 .
+If no user was specified, nor set using
+.Xr pam_set_item 3 ,
+.Fn pam_get_user
+will prompt for a user name.
+Either way, a pointer to the user name is stored in the location
+pointed to by the
+.Fa user
+argument, and the corresponding PAM item is
+updated.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fa prompt
+argument specifies a prompt to use if no user name is
+cached.
+If it is
+.Dv NULL ,
+the
+.Dv PAM_USER_PROMPT
+item will be used.
+If that item is also
+.Dv NULL ,
+a hardcoded default prompt will be used.
+Additionally, when
+.Fn pam_get_user
+is called from a service module, the
+prompt may be affected by module options as described below.
+The prompt is then expanded using
+.Xr openpam_subst 3
+before it is passed to
+the conversation function.
+.Sh MODULE OPTIONS
+When called by a service module,
+.Fn pam_get_user
+will recognize the
+following module options:
+.Bl -tag -width 18n
+.It Dv user_prompt
+Prompt to use when asking for the user name.
+This option overrides both the
+.Fa prompt
+argument and the
+.Dv PAM_USER_PROMPT
+item.
