.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
char *\fBuser_from_uid\fR (uid_t \fIuid\fR, int \fInouser\fR);
|
|
.br
|
|
char *\fBgroup_from_gid\fR (gid_t \fIgid\fR, int \fInogroup\fR);

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.BR user_from_uid
|
|
function returns the user name associated with the argument
|
|
.IR uid .
|
|
The user name is cached so that multiple calls with the same
|
|
.I uid
|
|
do not require additional calls to
|
|
.BR getpwuid (3).
|
|
If there is no user associated with the
|
|
.IR uid ,
|
|
a pointer is returned
|
|
to a string representation of the
|
|
.IR uid ,
|
|
unless the argument
|
|
.I nouser
|
|
is non-zero, in which case a
|
|
.BR NULL
|
|
pointer is returned.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.BR group_from_gid
|
|
function returns the group name associated with the argument
|
|
.IR gid .
|
|
The group name is cached so that multiple calls with the same
|
|
.I gid
|
|
do not require additional calls to
|
|
.BR getgrgid (3).
|
|
If there is no group associated with the
|
|
.IR gid ,
|
|
a pointer is returned
|
|
to a string representation of the
|
|
.IR gid ,
|
|
unless the argument
|
|
.I nogroup
|
|
is non-zero, in which case a
|
|
.BR NULL
|
|
pointer is returned.
