NAME
+ +
+ + getuser, sysname – get user or system name
+ +
+

SYNOPSIS
+ +
+ + #include <u.h>
+ #include <libc.h> +
+ + char*       getuser(void) +
+ + char*       sysname(void)
+ +
+

DESCRIPTION
+ +
+ + Getuser returns a pointer to static data which contains the null-terminated + name of the user who owns the current process. Getuser calls getuid(2) + and then reads /etc/passwd to find the corresponding name. +
+ + Sysname returns a pointer to static data which contains the name + of the machine on which the current process is running. Sysname + looks first for an environment variable $sysname. If there is + no such variable, sysname calls gethostname(2) and truncates the + returned name at the first dot. If gethostname fails, + sysname returns the default name gnot. +
+ + Unlike getuser, sysname caches the string, deriving the host name + only once.
