NAME

       getpw() - get name from UID

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       searches the password file for a user ID number that equals uid, copies the line of the password file in which uid was found into the array
       pointed to by buf, and returns 0.  returns non-zero if uid cannot be found.  The line is null-terminated.

       This routine is included only for compatibility with prior systems, and should not be used; see getpwent(3C) for routines to use instead.

NETWORKING FEATURES

   NFS
       This routine is implemented using (see getpwent(3C)) and therefore uses the Network Information Service network database  as  described	in
       passwd(4).

RETURN VALUE

       returns non-zero on error.

WARNINGS

       The above routine uses which causes it to increase, more than might be expected, the size of programs not otherwise using standard I/O.

       is to be obsoleted at a future date.
