SYNOPSIS

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <pwd.h>
void setpwent(void);


DESCRIPTION

The setpwent function rewinds the user database so that the next call to the getpwent function will access the first user in the database.


RETURN VALUE

setpwent has no return value.


USAGE NOTES

The setpwent function can only be used with MVS 5.2.2 or a later release.

If the setpwent function cannot be executed (for instance, because UNIX System Services is not installed or running), it issues an OS/390 user ABEND 1230 to indicate the error.
