NAME
|
|
getpw - get name from UID
|
|
SYNTAX
|
|
int getpw (uid, buf)
|
|
int uid;
|
|
char *buf;
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
Getpw searches the password file for a user id number that
|
|
equals uid, copies the line of the password file in which
|
|
uid was found into the array pointed to by buf, and returns
|
|
0. Getpw returns non-zero if uid cannot be found.
|
|
This routine is included only for compatibility with prior
|
|
systems and should not be used; see getpwent(3C) for
|
|
routines to use instead.
|
|
FILES
|
|
/etc/passwd
|
|
SEE ALSO
|
|
getpwent(3C), passwd(4).
|
|
DIAGNOSTICS
|
|
Getpw returns non-zero on error.
|
|
WARNING
|
|
The above routine uses <stdio.h>, which causes it to
|
|
increase, more than might be expected, the size of programs
|
|
not otherwise using standard I/O.
