SYNOPSIS
     #include <pwd.h>

     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

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