<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td>
<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>
