NAME
     logname - return log-in name of user

USAGE
     char *logname()

DESCRIPTION
     Logname returns a pointer to the null-terminated log-in
     name; it extracts the $LOGNAME variable from the user's
     environment.  This routine is kept in the library
     /usr/lib/libPW.a.  The link editor ld(1) will search this
     library when invoked with the -lPW option.

NOTES
     The return values point to static data whose content is
     overwritten by each call.

FILES
     /etc/profile        default shell startup file
