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.
