<h2>getpwnam_r()--Get User Information for User Name</h2>
<div class="box" style="width: 80%;">

&nbsp;&nbsp;Syntax
<pre>
#include &lt;sys/types.h&gt;
#include &lt;pwd.h&gt;
int getpwnam_r(const char <em>*name</em>, struct passwd
<em>*pwd</em>, char <em>*buffer</em>, size_t <em>bufsize</em>,

</div>
<p>The <strong>getpwnam_r()</strong> function updates the <em>passwd</em>
structure pointed to by <em>pwd</em> and stores a pointer to that structure in
the location pointed to by <em>result</em>. The structure contains an entry
from the user database with a matching <em>name</em>.</p>
<br>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong><em>name</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) A pointer to a user profile name.<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong><em>pwd</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) A pointer to a passwd structure.<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong><em>buffer</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) A pointer to a buffer from which memory is allocated to hold
storage areas referenced by the structure <em>pwd</em>.<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong><em>bufsize</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) The size of <em>buffer</em> in bytes.<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong><em>result</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) A pointer to a location in which a pointer to the updated passwd
structure is stored. If an error occurs or if the requested entry cannot be
found, a NULL pointer is stored in this location.</dd>
</dl>
<p>The <samp>struct passwd</samp>, which is defined in the <strong>
pwd.h</strong> header file, has the following elements:</p>
<table border>

<td align="left" valign="top" width="10%">char *</td>

<p>See <a href="gtpwnamru.htm">QlgGetpwnam_r()--Get User Information for User
Name (using NLS-enabled path name)</a> for a description and an example where
the path name is returned in any CCSID. Go to _r version<br>
</p>
<h3>Authorities</h3>
*READ authority is required to the user profile associated with the <em>
name</em>. If the user does not have *READ authority, only the user name, user
ID, and group ID values are returned.
<p><strong>Note:</strong> Adopted authority is not used.<br>
</p>
<h3>Return Value</h3>
<dl>
<dt><em>0</em></dt>
<dd><strong>getpwnam_r</strong> was successful.<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><em>Any other value</em></dt>
<dd>Failure: The return value contains an error number indicating the
error.</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Error Conditions</h3>
If <strong>getpwnam_r()</strong> is not successful, the return value usually
indicates one of the following errors. Under some conditions, the value could
indicate an error other than those listed here. <br>

<h3>Usage Notes</h3>
The initial working directory is returned in the CCSID value of the job. <br>
<h3>Related Information</h3>

Files for UNIX-Type Functions</a>)<br>

<h3>Example</h3>
<p>See <a href="../apiref/aboutapis.htm#codedisclaimer">Code disclaimer information</a>
for information pertaining to code examples.</p>
<p>The following example gets the user database information for the user name
of MYUSER. The UID is 22. The GID of MYUSER's first group is 1012. The initial
directory is /home/MYUSER. The initial user program is *LIBL/QCMD.</p>
<pre>
#include &lt;sys/types.h&gt;
#include &lt;pwd.h&gt;
#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
#include &lt;errno.h&gt;
main()
{
struct passwd pd;
struct passwd* pwdptr=&amp;pd;
struct passwd* tempPwdPtr;
char pwdbuffer[200];
int pwdlinelen = sizeof(pwdbuffer);
if ((getpwnam_r("MYUSER",pwdptr,pwdbuffer,pwdlinelen,&amp;tempPwdPtr))!=0)
perror("getpwnam_r() error.");
else
{
printf("\nThe user name is: %s\n", pd.pw_name);
printf("The user id is: %u\n", pd.pw_uid);
printf("The group id is: %u\n", pd.pw_gid);
printf("The initial directory is: %s\n", pd.pw_dir);
printf("The initial user program is: %s\n", pd.pw_shell);
}
}
</pre>
<strong>Output:</strong>
<pre>
The user name is: MYUSER
The user ID is: 22
The group ID is: 1012
The initial directory is: /home/MYUSER
The initial user program is: *LIBL/QCMD
