NAME

       putpwent - write password file entry

SYNOPSIS

       #include <pwd.h>

       int putpwent(const struct passwd *p, FILE *f);

DESCRIPTION

       The  putpwent() function is the inverse of getpwent(). See getpwnam(3C). Given a pointer to a passwd structure created by getpwent(), getp-
       wuid(), or getpwnam(), putpwent() writes a line on the stream f that matches the format of /etc/passwd.

RETURN VALUES

       The putpwent() function returns a non-zero value if an error was detected during its operation. Otherwise, it returns 0.

USAGE

       The putpwent() function is of limited utility, since most password files are maintained as Network Information  Service	(NIS)  files  that
       cannot be updated with this function. For this reason, the use of this function is discouraged. If used at all, it should be used with put-
       spent(3C) to update the shadow file.
