Function
GLibunix_get_passwd_entry
Description
Get the passwd
file entry for the given user_name
using getpwnam_r()
.
This can fail if the given user_name
doesn’t exist.
The returned struct passwd
has been allocated using g_malloc()
and should
be freed using g_free(). The strings referenced by the returned struct are
included in the same allocation, so are valid until the struct passwd
is freed.
This function is safe to call from multiple threads concurrently.
You will need to include pwd.h
to get the definition of struct passwd
.
