27.1.1 Reading the file passwd

Function: mbfl_system_passwd_read

Read the file /etc/passwd and store the resulting fields in an internal global array variable. Only the first call to this function will actually read the file, unless mbfl_system_passwd_reset() has been called.

Function: mbfl_system_passwd_reset

Reset the internal state so that the next call to mbfl_system_passwd_read() will actually load, or reaload, the contents of /etc/passwd.
