Writing a module is much like writing an application. You
have to provide the "conventional hooks" for it to work
correctly, like <code class="function">pam_sm_authenticate()</code>
etc., which would correspond to the <code class="function">main()</code>
function in a normal function.
</p><p>
Typically, the author may want to link against some standard system
libraries. As when one compiles a normal program, this can be
done for modules too: you simply append the
<em class="parameter"><code>-l</code></em><span class="emphasis"><em>XXX</em></span> arguments
for the desired libraries when you create the shared module object.
To make sure a module is linked to the
<span class="command"><strong>libwhatever.so</strong></span> library
when it is <code class="function">dlopen()</code>ed, try:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
% gcc -shared -o pam_module.so pam_module.o -lwhatever
</pre><p>
