*shrug* I mean, yeah ... but so what? It's allowed, but we already use getpwuid(getuid()) and we don't get bug reports on it being problem. >Practically speaking, pretty much all the programs I have seen use >either $USER or $LOGNAME. I do not believe that the common practice is to use USER or LOGNAME. My informal survey is that using getpwuid(getuid()) is by far more common. --Ken -- nmh-workers https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/nmh-workers
