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.
