\fIgetspent\fR,
\fIgetspname\fR,
\fIfgetspent\fR, and

each return a pointer to a
\fIstruct spwd\fR\&.
\fIgetspent\fR
returns the next entry from the file, and
\fIfgetspent\fR
returns the next entry from the given stream, which is assumed to be a file of the proper format\&.
\fIsgetspent\fR
returns a pointer to a
\fIstruct spwd\fR
using the provided string as input\&.
\fIgetspnam\fR
searches from the current position in the file for an entry matching
\fIname\fR\&.

The

routines should be used to insure exclusive access to the
/etc/shadow

\fIlckpwdf\fR
attempts to acquire a lock using

\fIspw_lock\fR
