NAME

putspent - write shadow password ﬁle entry

SYNOPSIS

#include <shadow.h>

int putspent (const struct spwd *sp, FILE *f);

DESCRIPTION

putspent() is the inverse of getspent(). See getspent (3C). Given a pointer to an

as created by the

getspent() or getspnam()

functions, putspent() writes a line on the stream f,

which matches the format of

/etc/shadow.

APPLICATION USAGE

putspent() is thread-safe. It is not async-cancel-safe. A cancellation

point may occur when a thread is executing

putspent().

RETURN VALUE
