GETUSER(2)GETUSER(2)
NAME
getuser, sysname – get user or system name
SYNOPSIS
#include <u.h>
#include <libc.h>
char* getuser(void)
char* sysname(void)
DESCRIPTION
Getuser
returns a pointer to static data which contains the
null-terminated
name of the user who
owns the current process.
Getuser
stats the file
/proc/pid/status
to find the name.
Sysname
reads the file
/dev/sysname,
which contains the name of the machine.
Unlike
getuser,
sysname
caches the string, reading the file only once.
