xt_get_user_name(3)	   Library Functions Manual	   xt_get_user_name(3)

NAME
       xt_get_user_name() - Get	username of process owner

LIBRARY
       #include	<xtend/proc.h>
       -lxtend

SYNOPSIS
       char   *xt_get_user_name(char *user_name, size_t	maxlen)

ARGUMENTS
       user_name:  Character buffer to receive home directory path
       maxlen:	   Max characters to copy to dir, not including	null byte

DESCRIPTION
       xt_get_user_name()  determines the user name of the process owner.  The
       information is retrieved	using a	call to	getpwuid(3), and copied	to the
       argument	"dir".

       The name	is stored in user_name up to maxlen characters.	 Note that  up
       to  maxlen  characters  are  stored, not	including the null terminator,
       hence the buffer	should be at least maxlen+1 bytes long.

RETURN VALUES
       A pointer to user_name, or NULL upon failure.
