The new .Vt struct passwd is allocated with .Xr malloc 3 , and it is the caller's responsibility to free it with .Xr free 3 . .Pp The .Fn pw_edit function invokes the command specified by the .Ev EDITOR environment variable (or .Pa /usr/bin/vi if .Ev EDITOR is not defined) on a temporary copy of the master password file created by .Fn pw_tmp . If the file was modified, .Fn pw_edit installs it and regenerates the password database. The .Fn pw_edit function returns -1 in case of failure, 0 if the file was not modified, and a non-zero positive number if the file was modified and successfully installed. .Pp The .Fn pw_equal function compares two .Vt struct passwd and returns 0 if they are equal. .Pp The .Fn pw_fini function destroy the temporary file created by .Fn pw_tmp if any, kills any running instance of .Ev EDITOR executed by .Fn pw_edit if any, and closes the lock created by .Fn pw_lock if any. .Pp The .Fn pw_init initialize the static variable representing the path a password file. .Fa dir is the directory where the password file is located. If set to .Dv NULL , it will default to .Pa /etc . .Fa master is the name of the password file. If set to .Dv NULL? it will default to .Pa master.passwd .Pp The .Fn pw_make function creates a properly formatted .Bx .Xr passwd 5 line from a .Vt struct passwd , and returns a pointer to the resulting string. The string is allocated with .Xr malloc 3 , and it is the caller's responsibility to free it with .Xr free 3 . .Pp The .Fn pw_make_v7 function creates a properly formatted .Ux V7 .Xr passwd 5 line from a .Vt struct passwd , and returns a pointer to the resulting string. The string is allocated with .Xr malloc 3 , and it is the caller's responsibility to free it with .Xr free 3 . .Pp The .Fn pw_mkdb function regenerates the password database by running .Xr pw_mkdb 8 . If .Fa user only the record corresponding to that user will be updated. The .Fn pw_mkdb function returns 0 in case of success and -1 in case of failure. .Pp The .Fn pw_lock function locks the master password file. It returns 0 in case of success and -1 in case of failure. .Pp The .Fn pw_scan function is a wrapper around the internal libc function .Fn __pw_scan . It scans the master password file for a line corresponding to the .Fa line provided and return a .Vt struct passwd if it matched an existing record. In case of failure, it returns .Dv NULL . Otherwise, it returns a pointer to a .Vt struct passwd containing the matching record. The .Vt struct passwd is allocated with .Xr malloc 3 , and it is the caller's responsibility to free it with .Xr free 3 . .Pp The .Fn pw_tempname function returns the temporary name of the masterfile created via .Fn pw_tmp . .Pp The .Fn pw_tmp creates and opens a presumably safe temporary password file. If .Fa mfd is a file descriptor to an open password file, it will be read and written back to the temporary password file. Otherwise if should be set -1. The .Fn pw_tmp returns an open file descriptor to the temporary password file or -1 in case of failure. .Sh AUTHORS Portions of this software were developed for the .Fx Project by ThinkSec AS and Network Associates Laboratories, the Security Research Division of Network Associates, Inc.\& under DARPA/SPAWAR contract N66001-01-C-8035 .Pq Dq CBOSS , as part of the DARPA CHATS research program. .Pp This manual page was written by .An Baptiste Daroussin Aq Mt bapt@FreeBSD.org .
