NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     putspent -	write shadow password file entry

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <shadow.h>

     int putspent (const struct	spwd *p, FILE *fp);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     The putspent routine is the inverse of getspent.  Given a pointer to a
     spwd structure created by the getspent routine (or	the getspnam routine),
     the putspent routine writes a line	on the stream fp, which	matches	the
     format of /etc/shadow.

     If	the sp_min, sp_max, sp_lstchg, sp_warn,	sp_inact, or sp_expire field
     of	the spwd structure is -1, or if	sp_flag	is 0, the corresponding
     /etc/shadow field is cleared.

SEE ALSO    [Toc]    [Back]

      
      
     getspent(3C), getpwent(3C), putpwent(3C).

DIAGNOSTICS    [Toc]    [Back]

     The putspent routine returns non-zero if an error was detected during its
     operation,	otherwise zero.

NOTES    [Toc]    [Back]

     This routine is for internal use only, compatibility is not guaranteed.
