NAME
getusershell, setusershell, endusershell - get legal user
shells
SYNOPSIS
char *getusershell()
void setusershell()
void endusershell()
DESCRIPTION
Getusershell returns a pointer to a legal user shell as
defined by
the system manager in the file /etc/shells. If /etc/shells
is
unreadable or does not exist, getusershell behaves as if
/bin/sh
and /bin/csh were listed in the file.
Getusershell reads the next line
(opening the file if necessary);
setusershell rewinds the file; endusershell closes it.
FILES
/etc/shells

DIAGNOSTICS
The routine getusershell returns a null pointer (0) on
EOF.
