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