!!DESCRIPTION |

|
|
|
24 |
The __getpwent()__ function returns a pointer to a |
|
|
25 |
structure containing the broken out fields of a line from |
|
|
26 |
''/etc/passwd''. The first time it is called it returns |
|
|
27 |
the first entry; thereafter, it returns successive |
|
|
28 |
entries. |
|
|
29 |
|
|
|
30 |
|
|
|
31 |
The __setpwent()__ function rewinds the file pointer to |
|
|
32 |
the beginning of the ''/etc/passwd'' file. |
|
|
33 |
|
|
|
34 |
|
|
|
35 |
The __endpwent()__ function closes the ''/etc/passwd'' |
|
|
36 |
file. |
|
|
37 |
|
|
|
38 |
|
|
|

|
|
40 |
'''' as follows: |
|
|
41 |
|
|
|
42 |
|
|
|
43 |
struct passwd { |
|
|
44 |
char *pw_name; /* user name */ |
|
|
45 |
char *pw_passwd; /* user password */ |
|
|
46 |
uid_t pw_uid; /* user id */ |
|
|
47 |
gid_t pw_gid; /* group id */ |
|
|
48 |
char *pw_gecos; /* real name */ |
|
