NAME

cuserid − get character login name of the user

SYNOPSIS

#include <stdio.h>

char ∗cuserid(char ∗s);

MT-LEVEL

MT-Safe

DESCRIPTION

cuserid() generates a character-string representation of the login name that the owner of the current process is logged in under.  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 L_cuserid characters; the representation is left in this array.  The constant L_cuserid is defined in the <stdio.h> header. 

RETURN VALUES

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

SEE ALSO

getlogin(3C), getpwnam(3C)

NOTES

In multi-thread applications, the caller must always supply an array s for the return value.
