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-termi‐
       nated name of the user who owns the  current  process.	Getuser	 reads
       /dev/user to find the name.

       Sysname	provides  the same service for the file #c/sysname, which con‐
       tains the name of the machine.	Unlike	getuser,  sysname  caches  the
       string, reading the file only once.
