      NAME
           putpwent - write password file entry

      SYNTAX
           #include <pwd.h>

           int putpwent (p, f)
           struct passwd *p;
           FILE *f;

      DESCRIPTION
           Putpwent is the inverse of getpwent(3C).  Given a pointer to
           a passwd structure created by getpwent (or getpwuid or
           getpwnam), putpwuid writes a line on the stream f which
           matches the format of /etc/passwd.

      DIAGNOSTICS
           Putpwent returns non-zero if an error was detected during
           its operation, otherwise zero.

      WARNING
           The above routine uses <stdio.h>, which causes it to
           increase the size of programs, not otherwise using standard
           I/O, more than might be expected.
