Is this the sort of thing you are after? It runs in ksh, hence the odd comment at the top.
Code:
#!/bin/ksh

read uid?"What users are you looking for? "          # Prompt and accept input
grep "^$uid " file | read userid fn sn               # Use your file name here
echo "The owner of $uid is $fn $sn"                  # Display result

Have I missed the point?




I hope that this helps,

PTHREAD_SETUGID_NP(2)					      BSD System Calls Manual					     PTHREAD_SETUGID_NP(2)

NAME
pthread_setugid_np -- Set the per-thread userid and single groupid. SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/unistd.h> int pthread_setugid_np(uid_t uid, gid_t gid); DESCRIPTION
pthread_setugid_np() changes the current thread's effective, real, and saved userid and groupid to the requested userid and groupid ( uid and gid , respectively) and clears all other groupids. uid can be the current real userid, KAUTH_UID_NONE, or, if the caller is privileged, any userid. gid can be the current real groupid or, if the caller is priviledged, any single groupid. Setting uid to KAUTH_UID_NONE means to "revert to the per process credential". CAVEATS
Temporarily restoring root privileges for a non-privileged process is only possible on a per-process basis and not a per-thread basis. pthread_setugid_np() is not intended as a privilege escalation mechanism. Do not use pthread_setugid_np.2() in a security sensitive situation. RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, a value of 0 is returned. Otherwise, -1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error. ERRORS
pthread_setugid_np() fails if one or more of the following are true: [EPERM] The calling process does not have the correct credentials to set the override identity (i.e. The current credentials do not imply "super-user"). [EPERM] If uid is set to KAUTH_UID_NONE, the current thread must already be assuming another identity in order to revert back. [EPERM] The current thread cannot already be assuming another identity.
