NAME
     getpw - get name from UID

SYNOPSIS
     getpw(uid, buf)
     char *buf;

DESCRIPTION
     getpw is made obsolete by getpwuid(3).

     getpw searches the password file for the (numerical) uid, and fills in
     buf with the corresponding line; it returns nonzero if uid could not be
     found.  The line is null terminated.

FILES
     /etc/passwd

SEE ALSO
     getpwent(3), passwd(5)

DIAGNOSTICS
     Nonzero return on error.
