putpwent(3C)                   DG/UX 5.4R3.00                   putpwent(3C)


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.

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

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.
