NAME
     logname - display user's login name

SYNOPSIS logname

DESCRIPTION The logname utility writes the user's login name to standard output fol- lowed by a newline.

The logname utility explicitly ignores the LOGNAME and USER environment variables because the environment cannot be trusted.

The logname utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

SEE ALSO who(1), whoami(1), getlogin(3)

STANDARDS The logname function is expected to conform to IEEE Std1003.2 (``POSIX'').

HISTORY The logname command appears in 4.4BSD.
