cuserid(3S)cuserid(3S)NAMEcuserid() - get character login name of the user
SYNOPSIS
Remarks:
Because this function behaved differently in previous releases of HP-
UX, and behaves differently on other systems, its use is not recom‐
mended. It is provided only for conformance to current industry stan‐
dards, and is subject to withdrawal in future releases of HP-UX.
For portability and security, application writers and maintainers
should search their existing code and replace references to with equiv‐
alent calls to or depending on which user name is desired.
DESCRIPTION
generates a character-string representation of the user name corre‐
sponding to the effective user ID of the process. If s is a NULL
pointer, this representation is generated in an internal static area,
the address of which is returned. Otherwise, s is assumed to point to
an array of at least characters; the representation is left in this
array. The constant is defined in the header file.
For multi-thread applications, if s is a NULL pointer, the operation is
not performed and a NULL pointer is returned.
DIAGNOSTICS
If the login name cannot be found, returns a NULL pointer; if s is not
a NULL pointer, a null character is placed at s[0].
