CUSERID(3S)          INTERACTIVE UNIX System          CUSERID(3S)



          NAME
               cuserid - get character login name of the user

          SYNOPSIS
               #include <stdio.h>

               char *cuserid (s)
               char *s;

          DESCRIPTION
               The cuserid function generates a character-string represen-
               tation of the login name that the owner of the current pro-
               cess is logged in under.  If s is a NULL pointer, this
               representation is generated in an internal static area, the
               address of which is returned.  Otherwise, s is assumed to
               point to an array of at least L_cuserid characters; the
               representation is left in this array.  The constant
               L_cuserid is defined in the <stdio.h> header file.

          SEE ALSO
               getlogin(3C), getpwent(3C).

          DIAGNOSTICS
               If the login name cannot be found, cuserid returns a NULL
               pointer; if s is not a NULL pointer, a null character (\0)
               will be placed at s[0].
