!!DESCRIPTION


The __getusershell()__ function returns the next line
from the file ''/etc/shells'', opening the file if
necessary. The line should contain the pathname of a valid
user shell. If ''/etc/shells'' does not exist or is
unreadable, __getusershell()__ behaves as if
''/bin/sh'' and ''/bin/csh'' were listed in the
file.


The __setusershell()__ function rewinds
''/etc/shells''.


The __endusershell()__ function closes
''/etc/shells''.
!!RETURN VALUE


The __getusershell()__ function returns a NULL pointer on
