/* * UNIX shell - logdir routine * * Joe Steffen * Bell Telephone Laboratories * * This routine does not use the getpwent(3) library routine * because the latter uses the stdio package.

If the previous request was successful and the name * is the same as the last request, the same login directory is returned. */ #define BUFSIZ 160 static char line[BUFSIZ+1]; char * logdir(name) char *name; { int pwf; static char lastname[BUFSIZ+1]; static char lastdir[BUFSIZ+1]; register char *p; register int i, j; char *field(); if (*lastdir && !strcmp(lastname,name)) /* djm */ return(lastdir); strcpy(lastname,name); /* djm */ strcpy(lastdir,""); /* djm */ /* attempt to open the password file */ if ((pwf = open("/etc/passwd", 0)) == -1) return(0); /* find the matching password entry */ do { /* get the next line in the password file */ i = read(pwf, line, BUFSIZ); for (j = 0; j < i; j++) if (line[j] == '\n') break; /* return a null pointer if the whole file has been read */ if (j >= i) return(0); line[++j] = 0; /* terminate the line */ lseek(pwf, (long) (j - i), 1); /* point at the next line */ p = field(line); /* get the logname */ } while (strcmp(name, line) != 0); close(pwf); /* skip the intervening fields */ p = field(p); p = field(p); p = field(p); p = field(p); /* return the login directory */ field(p); strcpy(lastdir,p); /* djm */ return(p); } static char * field(p) register char *p; { while (*p && *p != ':') ++p; if (*p) *p++ = 0; return(p); }
