# PXFGETPWUID (L*X, M*X)

POSIX Subroutine: Gets password information for a specified UID.

## Module

USE IFPOSIX

CALL PXFGETPWUID (iuid,jpasswd,ierror)

iuid | (Input) INTEGER(4). The user ID to retrieve information about.
jpasswd | (Output) INTEGER(4). A handle of structure `compnam`.
ierror | (Output) INTEGER(4). The error status.

If successful, ierror is set to zero; otherwise, an error code.

The PXFGETPWUID subroutine stores the user information from `/etc/passwd` for the entry that matches the user ID iuid in the structure associated with handle jpasswd.

### Note

To get a handle for an instance of the `compnam` structure, use PXFSTRUCTCREATE with the string 'compnam' for the structure name.
