USERINFO(8)						    BSD System Manager's Manual 					       USERINFO(8)

NAME

     userinfo -- displays user information

SYNOPSIS

     userinfo [-e] user

DESCRIPTION

     The userinfo utility retrieves the user information from the system.  The userinfo utility is only available if built with EXTENSIONS.  See
     user(8) for more information.

     The following command line option is recognised:

     -e      Return 0 if the user exists, and non-zero if the user does not exist, on the system.  No information is displayed.  This form of the
	     command is useful for scripts which need to check whether a particular user name or uid is already in use on the system.

     The user argument may either be a user's name, or a uid.

EXIT STATUS

     The userinfo utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

SEE ALSO

     passwd(5), group(8), user(8), useradd(8), userdel(8)

HISTORY

     The userinfo utility first appeared in NetBSD 1.5.  It is based on the addnerd package by the same author.

AUTHORS

     The userinfo utility was written by Alistair G. Crooks <agc@NetBSD.org>.
