putspent(3C)            LIBRARY FUNCTIONS            putspent(3C)



NAME
     putspent - write shadow password file entry

SYNOPSIS
     #include <shadow.h>

     int putspent (const struct spwd *p, FILE *fp);

DESCRIPTION
     The putspent routine is the inverse of  getspent.   Given  a
     pointer  to a spwd structure created by the getspent routine
     (or the getspnam routine), the  putspent  routine  writes  a
     line   on  the  stream  fp,  which  matches  the  format  of
     /etc/shadow.  If the  spmin,  spmax,  splstchg,  spwarn,
     spinact, or spexpire field of the spwd structure is -1, or
     if spflag is 0,  the  corresponding  /etc/shadow  field  is
     cleared.

SEE ALSO
     getspent(3C), getpwent(3C), putpwent(3C).

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

NOTES
     This routine is for internal use only, compatibility is  not
     guaranteed.
