GETUSERSHELL(3)            Linux Programmer's Manual           GETUSERSHELL(3)

NAME
       getusershell, setusershell, endusershell - get permitted user shells
SYNOPSIS
       #include <unistd.h>
       char *getusershell(void);
       void setusershell(void);
       void endusershell(void);
   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
       getusershell(), setusershell(), endusershell():
           _BSD_SOURCE || (_XOPEN_SOURCE && _XOPEN_SOURCE < 500)
DESCRIPTION
       The  getusershell()  function  returns  the  next  line  from  the file
       /etc/shells, opening the file if necessary.  The  line  should  contain
       the  pathname  of a valid user shell.  If /etc/shells does not exist or
       is unreadable, getusershell() behaves as if /bin/sh and  /bin/csh  were
       listed in the file.
       The setusershell() function rewinds /etc/shells.
       The endusershell() function closes /etc/shells.
RETURN VALUE
       The getusershell() function returns a NULL pointer on end-of-file.
FILES
       /etc/shells
ATTRIBUTES
