NAME
       getusershell, setusershell, endusershell - get legal user shells

SYNOPSIS
       char *getusershell()

       setusershell()

       endusershell()

DESCRIPTION
       Getusershell  returns a pointer to a legal user shell as defined by the
       system manager in the file /etc/shells.	If /etc/shells does not exist,
       the two standard system shells /bin/sh and /bin/csh are returned.

       Getusershell  reads  the	 next  line  (opening  the file if necessary);
       setusershell rewinds the file; endusershell closes it.

FILES
       /etc/shells

DIAGNOSTICS
       The routine getusershell returns a null pointer (0) on EOF or error.
