      NAME
           logname - return login name of user

      SYNTAX
           char *logname( )

      DESCRIPTION
           Logname returns a pointer to the null-terminated login name;
           it extracts the $LOGNAME variable from the user's
           environment.

           This routine is kept in /lib/libPW.a.

      FILES
           /etc/profile

      SEE ALSO
           env(1), login(1), profile(4), environ(5).

      BUGS
           The return values point to static data whose content is
           overwritten by each call.

           This method of determining a login name is subject to
           forgery.
