<h3>FGETPWENT(3)        Linux Programmer's Manual        FGETPWENT(3)
</h3>

<h3>NAME
</h3>       fgetpwent - get password file entry

<h3>SYNOPSIS
</h3>       #include &lt;pwd.h&gt;
       #include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
       #include &lt;sys/types.h&gt;

       struct passwd *fgetpwent(FILE *stream);

<h3>DESCRIPTION
</h3>       The  fgetpwent() function returns a pointer to a structure
       containing the broken out fields of a  line  in  the  file
       stream.   The first time it is called it returns the first
       entry; thereafter, it  returns  successive  entries.   The
       file stream must have the same format as /etc/passwd.

       The passwd structure is defined in &lt;pwd.h&gt; as follows:

              struct passwd {
                      char    *pw_name;       /* user name */
                      char    *pw_passwd;     /* user password */
                      uid_t   pw_uid;         /* user id */
                      gid_t   pw_gid;         /* group id */
                      char    *pw_gecos;      /* real name */
                      char    *pw_dir;        /* home directory */
                      char    *pw_shell;      /* shell program */
              };

<h3>RETURN VALUE
</h3>       The  fgetpwent() function returns the passwd structure, or
       NULL if there are no more entries or an error occurs.

<h3>ERRORS
</h3>       ENOMEM Insufficient memory to allocate passwd structure.

<h3>CONFORMING TO
</h3>       SVID 3
