SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

The endpwent function closes the UNIX System Services user database once the getpwent function is complete. If getpwent is called after a call to endpwent, the database will be opened once again, and information about the first user returned.

RETURN VALUE

endpwent has no return value.

USAGE NOTES

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

If the endpwent 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.

RELATED FUNCTIONS

getpwent, setpwent
