logname(1)                 DG/UX 4.30                  logname(1)



     NAME
          logname - get login name

     SYNOPSIS
          logname

     DESCRIPTION
          Logname returns the contents of the environment variable
          $LOGNAME, the name under which you logged in. It is set when
          you log into the system, but can be reset. It is simply an
          environment variable; it does not affect the system's
          knowledge of you through your effective user id.

     EXAMPLES
          $ logname
          billcat

          Returns the name of the user as known by the system at login
          time.  If $LOGNAME (the shell variable) is not defined
          logname will still function.

          $ logname > lognm
          $ cat lognm
          billcat

          Puts the user name in the new file lognm and displays the
          contents of lognm.

     FILES
          /etc/profile.
