PUTSPENT(3C-SVR4)   RISC/os Reference Manual    PUTSPENT(3C-SVR4)



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 sp_min, sp_max, sp_lstchg, sp_warn, sp_inact, or
     sp_expire field of the spwd structure is -1, or if sp_flag
     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.
