        putpwent                                               Subroutine
        write password file entry in DG/UX
        _________________________________________________________________


        SYNTAX

        #include <pwd.h>

        int putpwent (p, f)
        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.


        DIAGNOSTICS

        Putpwent returns non-zero if an error was detected during its
        operation.  Otherwise, it returns zero.


        SEE ALSO

        getpwent(3C).


        WARNING

        The above routine uses <stdio.h>, which causes it to increase the
        size of programs that otherwise don't use standard I/O. The size
        increases more than might be expected.
