+
+ <i>Getuser</i> returns a pointer to static data which contains the null-terminated
+ name of the user who owns the current process. <i>Getuser</i> calls <a href="../man2/getuid.html"><i>getuid</i>(2)</a>
+ and then reads <tt><font size=+1>/etc/passwd</font></tt> to find the corresponding name.
+ <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
+
+ <i>Sysname</i> returns a pointer to static data which contains the name
+ of the machine on which the current process is running. <i>Sysname</i>
+ looks first for an environment variable <tt><font size=+1>$sysname</font></tt>. If there is
+ no such variable, <i>sysname</i> calls <a href="../man2/gethostname.html"><i>gethostname</i>(2)</a> and truncates the
+ returned name at the first dot. If <i>gethostname</i> fails,
+ <i>sysname</i> returns the default name <tt><font size=+1>gnot</font></tt>.
+ <table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
+
+ Unlike <i>getuser</i>, <i>sysname</i> caches the string, deriving the host name
+ only once.<br>
