getpwnam_r_ts64()--Get User Information for User Name

 #include <sys/types.h>
 #include <pwd.h>

 int getpwnam_r_ts64(
        const char * __ptr64 name,
        struct passwd * __ptr64 pwd,
        char * __ptr64 buffer,
        size_t bufsize,
        struct passwd * __ptr64 * __ptr64 result);    

The getpwnam_r_ts64() function updates the passwd structure pointed to by pwd and stores a pointer to that structure in the location pointed to by result. The structure contains an entry from the user database with a matching name. getpwnam_r_ts64() differs from getpwnam_r() in that it accepts 8-byte teraspace pointers.
