GETUSERSHELL 3 ""
C 6 NAME
getusershell, setusershell, endusershell - get legal user shells
SYNOPSIS
char *getusershell()setusershell()
endusershell()
DESCRIPTION
Getusershell returns a pointer to a legal user shell as defined by the
system manager in the file
/etc/shells . If
/etc/shells is unreadable or does not exist,
getusershell behaves as if
/bin/sh and
/bin/csh were listed in the file.
Getusershell reads the next line (opening the file if necessary); setusershell rewinds the file; endusershell closes it.
FILES
/etc/shells
"SEE ALSO"
shells(5)
DIAGNOSTICS
The routine
getusershell returns a null pointer (0) on EOF.
