   NAME
         putpwent - write password file entry

   SYNOPSIS
         #include <pwd.h>

         int putpwent (const struct passwd *p, FILE *f);

   DESCRIPTION
         putpwent is the inverse of getpwent(3C).  Given a pointer to a passwd
         structure created by getpwent (or getpwuid or getpwnam), putpwent
         writes a line on the stream f, which matches the format of
         /etc/passwd.

   SEE ALSO
         getpwent(3C).

   DIAGNOSTICS
         putpwent returns non-zero if an error was detected during its
         operation, otherwise zero.
