getpwent(3C) getpwent(3C)

Users of getpwuid_r() and getpwnam_r() should note that these interfaces now conform with

POSIX.1c. getpwent_r() , setpwent_r() , endpwent_r() and fgetpwent_r() are obsolescent

interfaces. These interfaces and the old prototypes of getpwuid_r() and getpwnam_r() are sup-

ported for compatibility with existing DCE applications only.

The interfaces getpwuid() , getpwnam() , getpwent() , setpwent() , endpwent() ,

fgetpwent() , getpwuid_r() and getpwnam_r() use the Dynamic Name Service Switch.(See

nsswitch.conf(4).) An application that uses these interfaces cannot be fully archive bound.

EXAMPLE

The following code excerpt prints name and uid of user logged in on this terminal:

struct passwd pwd;

struct passwd *result;

char logBuffer [1024];

char pwdBuffer [1024];

if (getlogin_r (loginBuffer, 1024) == 0)

if (getpwnam_r (logBuffer, &pwd, pwdBuffer, 1024, &result) == 0)

printf ("Name = %s; uid = %d\n", pwd.pw_name, pwd.pw_uid);
