Synopsis: Listing all users in the passwd file
State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: schweikh
State-Changed-When: Sun Jun 10 05:58:23 PDT 2001
State-Changed-Why:
The system provides the getpwent(3) routine to iterate through
the passwd file and also takes care of other sources (like NIS).
In a script you'd say s.t. like
perl -e 'while(($name)=getpwent){print "$name\n"}'
No, we're not making separate executables for such one-liners.
There would be just too many :-)
