putpwent(3C)                                                   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.

RESULT
     putpwent() returns non-zero if an error was detected during its opera-
     tion, otherwise zero.

SEE ALSO
     getpwent(3C).
