NAME
       logname - get login name

SYNOPSIS
       logname

DESCRIPTION
       Logname returns the contents of the environment variable $LOGNAME,
       the name under which you logged in. It is set when you log into the
       system, but can be reset. It is simply an environment variable; it
       does not affect the system's knowledge of you through your effective
       user ID.

EXAMPLES
       $ logname
       billcat

       Returns the name of the user as known by the system at login time.
       If $LOGNAME (the shell variable) is not defined logname will still
       function.

       $ logname > lognm
       $ cat lognm
       billcat

       Puts the user name in the new file lognm and displays the contents of
       lognm.

FILES
       /etc/profile.
