SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       printpw [-acdgsu]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  printpw  command  outputs   the   contents   of   the
       /etc/passwd  database file in ASCII format to the standard
       output.  When printpw is called with no option, all  usernames
 in the database are output.

       The  /etc/passwd  database  file  is  accessed through the
       standard library function getpwent. On secure systems that
       have changed this library function or on systems with Network
 Information Service (NIS) service installed,  printpw
       produces the same information.

       When printpw is called in combination with any option, one
       or more additional columns separated  with  :  (colon)  is
       output.
