   getpw    ( 3 )

восстановить запись строки пароля (reconstruct password line entry)

Имя (Name)

getpw - reconstruct password line entry


Синопсис (Synopsis)

#define _GNU_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */ #include <sys/types.h> #include <pwd.h>

int getpw(uid_t uid, char *buf);


Описание (Description)

The getpw() function reconstructs the password line entry for the given user ID uid in the buffer buf. The returned buffer contains a line of format

name:passwd:uid:gid:gecos:dir:shell

The passwd structure is defined in <pwd.h> as follows:

struct passwd { char *pw_name; /* username */ char *pw_passwd; /* user password */ uid_t pw_uid; /* user ID */ gid_t pw_gid; /* group ID */ char *pw_gecos; /* user information */ char *pw_dir; /* home directory */ char *pw_shell; /* shell program */ };

For more information about the fields of this structure, see passwd(5).


Возвращаемое значение (Return value)

The getpw() function returns 0 on success; on error, it returns -1, and errno is set to indicate the error.

If uid is not found in the password database, getpw() returns -1, sets errno to 0, and leaves buf unchanged.


Ошибки (Error)

0 or ENOENT No user corresponding to uid.

EINVAL buf is NULL.

ENOMEM Insufficient memory to allocate passwd structure.
