NAME
       getpw - get name from uid

SYNOPSIS
       getpw(
	       uid_t uid,
	       char *buf );

DESCRIPTION
       The getpw() routine has been superseded by getpwuid(). See getpwent(3).

       The getpw() routine searches the password file for the (numerical) uid,
       and fills in buf with the corresponding line; it returns nonzero if uid
       could not be found. The line is null terminated.

ERRORS
       Nonzero return on error.

FILES
       /etc/passwd
