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 in-
     formation is retrieved using a call to getpwuid(3), and copied to the argu-
     ment "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.
