NAME
getuser, sysname – get user or system name

SYNOPSIS
#include <u.h>
#include <libc.h>

char*       getuser(void)

char*       sysname(void)

DESCRIPTION
Getuser returns a pointer to static data which contains the null–terminated name of the user who owns the current process. Getuser stats the file /proc/pid/status to find the name.

Sysname reads the file /dev/sysname, which contains the name of the machine. Unlike getuser, sysname caches the string, reading the file only once.
