Standard C Library Functions                         putspent(3C)



NAME
     putspent - write shadow password file entry

SYNOPSIS
     #include 

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


DESCRIPTION
     The  putspent() function is the inverse of  getspent().  See
     getspnam(3C). Given a pointer to a spwd structure created by
     getspent() or getspnam(), putspent() writes a  line  on  the
     stream fp that matches the format of /etc/shadow.


     The spwd structure contains the following members:

       char           *spnamp;
       char           *sppwdp;
       int            splstchg;
       int            spmin;
       int            spmax;
       int            spwarn;
       int            spinact;
       int            spexpire;
       unsigned int   spflag;



     If the spmin,  spmax,  splstchg,  spwarn,  spinact,  or
     spexpire member of the  spwd structure is -1, or if spflag
     is 0, the corresponding  /etc/shadow field is cleared.

RETURN VALUES
     The  putspent() function returns  a  non-zero  value  if  an
     error  was  detected  during  its  operation.  Otherwise, it
     returns 0.

USAGE
     Since this function is for internal use only,  compatibility
     is  not guaranteed. For this reason, its use is discouraged.
     If used at all, if  should  be  used  with  putpwent(3C)  to
     update the password file.
