NAME
       printpw - Outputs the contents of the password database

SYNOPSIS
       printpw [-acdgsu]

OPTIONS
       Outputs	all  information. Use of this option is the same as specifying
       all options with -cdgsu.	 Outputs  username  and	 the  comment  string.
       Output  username	 and  the  login  directory.  Outputs username and the
       group ID numerical value.  Output username and the login shell.	Output
       username and the UID numerical value.

DESCRIPTION
       The  printpw  command  outputs the contents of the /etc/passwd database
       file in ASCII format to the standard output.  When  printpw  is	called
       with no option, all usernames in the database are output.

       The  /etc/passwd database file is accessed through the standard library
       function getpwent. On secure systems that  have	changed	 this  library
       function	 or  on systems with Network Information Service (NIS) service
       installed, printpw produces the same information.

       When printpw is called in combination with  any	option,	 one  or  more
       additional columns separated with : (colon) is output.

EXAMPLES
       To  output  the	username, UID, and login directory of all users in the
       password database file, enter: /usr/sbin/acct/printpw -ud

FILES
