NAME
       cuserid - get character login name of the user

SYNOPSIS
       #include <stdio.h>

       char *cuserid(char *s);

DESCRIPTION
       The  cuserid()  function generates a character-string representation of
       the login name under which the owner of the current process  is	logged
       in.  If	s  is  a  null pointer, this representation is generated in an
       internal static area whose address is returned. Otherwise, s is assumed
       to  point to an array of at least L_cuserid characters; the representa‐
       tion is left in this array. The constant L_cuserid is  defined  in  the
       <stdio.h> header.

       In multithreaded applications, the caller must always supply an array s
       for the return value.

RETURN VALUES
       If the login name cannot be found, cuserid() returns  a	null  pointer.
       If  s  is not a null pointer, the null character `\0' will be placed at
       s[0].
