cuserid(3S)                                              cuserid(3S)


       NAME
             cuserid - get character login name of the user

       SYNOPSIS
             #include <stdio.h>
             char *cuserid(char *s);

       DESCRIPTION
             cuserid generates a character-string representation of the
             login name that the owner of the current process is logged in
             under.  If s is a NULL pointer, this representation is
             generated in an internal static area, the address of which is
             returned.  Otherwise, s is assumed to point to an array of at
             least L_cuserid characters; the representation is left in this
             array.  The constant L_cuserid is defined in the stdio.h
             header file.

          Errors
             If the login name cannot be found, cuserid returns a NULL
             pointer; if s is not a NULL pointer, a null character ``\0''
             will be placed at s[0].
