NAME
ug_display_width() - get current display width for user and group names SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The function returns the current display width for user and group names. This value determines how many bytes of a user or group name that system and conforming applications will display. On a system with long user and group names enabled, the default display width for the system is set with the command (see lugadmin(1M)). Users can override the default value by setting the environment variable to an integer value in the range to Application Usage System and conforming applications use the return value (current display width) for formatted output as follows: Long user and group names are not configured on the system. Display user and group names as per default settings. Long user and group name are enabled but display user and group names as per default settings. For user and group names longer (in bytes) than the default allowable length, truncate the name to the maximum default length and replace the last printed character with a plus sign If the name is longer (in bytes) than the current display width, truncate the name to this length (in bytes) and replace the last printed character with a plus sign EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Environment Variables If it is set and long user and group names are enabled, it overrides the width that is specified by the command for all system and conforming applications that write formatted output. RETURN VALUE
