.Sh DESCRIPTION
The functions
.Fn cap_getpwent ,
.Fn cap_getpwnam ,
.Fn cap_getpwuid ,
.Fn cap_getpwent_r ,
.Fn cap_getpwnam_r ,
.Fn cap_getpwuid_r ,
.Fn cap_setpassent ,
.Fn cap_setpwent ,
and
.Fn cap_endpwent
are respectively equivalent to
.Xr getpwent 3 ,
.Xr getpwnam 3 ,
.Xr getpwuid 3 ,
.Xr getpwent_r 3 ,
.Xr getpwnam_r 3 ,
.Xr getpwuid_r 3 ,
.Xr setpassent 3 ,
.Xr setpwent 3 ,
and
.Xr cap_endpwent 3
except that the connection to the
.Nm system.pwd
service needs to be provided.
.Pp
The
.Fn cap_pwd_limit_cmds
function limits the functions allowed in the service.
The
.Fa cmds
variable can be set to
.Dv getpwent ,
.Dv getpwnam ,
.Dv getpwuid ,
.Dv getpwent_r ,
.Dv getpwnam_r ,
.Dv getpwuid_r ,
.Dv setpassent ,
.Dv setpwent ,
or
.Dv endpwent
which will allow to use the function associated with the name.
The
.Fa ncmds
variable contains the number of
.Fa cmds
provided.
.Pp
The
.Fn cap_pwd_limit_fields
function allows limit fields returned in the structure
.Vt passwd .
The
.Fa fields
variable can be set to
.Dv pw_name ,
.Dv pw_passwd ,
.Dv pw_uid ,
.Dv pw_gid ,
.Dv pw_change ,
.Dv pw_class ,
.Dv pw_gecos ,
.Dv pw_dir ,
.Dv pw_shell ,
.Dv pw_expire
or
.Dv pw_fields
The field which was set as the limit will be returned, while the rest of the
values not set this way will have default values.
The
.Fa nfields
variable contains the number of
.Fa fields
provided.
.Pp
The
.Fn cap_pwd_limit_users
function allows to limit access to users.
The
.Fa names
variable allows to limit users by name and the
.Fa uids
variable by the user number.
The
.Fa nnames
and
.Fa nuids
variables provide numbers of limited names and uids.
.Sh EXAMPLES
The following example first opens a capability to casper and then uses this
capability to create the
.Nm system.pwd
casper service and uses it to get a user name.
.Bd -literal
cap_channel_t *capcas, *cappwd;
const char *cmds[] = { "getpwuid" };
const char *fields[] = { "pw_name" };
uid_t uid[] = { 1 };
struct passwd *passwd;

/* Open capability to Casper. */
capcas = cap_init();
if (capcas == NULL)
        err(1, "Unable to contact Casper");

/* Enter capability mode sandbox. */
if (cap_enter() < 0 && errno != ENOSYS)
        err(1, "Unable to enter capability mode");

/* Use Casper capability to create capability to the system.pwd service. */
cappwd = cap_service_open(capcas, "system.pwd");
if (cappwd == NULL)
        err(1, "Unable to open system.pwd service");

/* Close Casper capability, we don't need it anymore. */
cap_close(capcas);

/* Limit service to one single function. */
if (cap_pwd_limit_cmds(cappwd, cmds, nitems(cmds)))
	err(1, "Unable to limit access to system.pwd service");

/* Limit service to one field as we only need name of the user. */
if (cap_pwd_limit_fields(cappwd, fields, nitems(fields)))
	err(1, "Unable to limit access to system.pwd service");

/* Limit service to one uid. */
if (cap_pwd_limit_users(cappwd, NULL, 0, uid, nitems(uid)))
	err(1, "Unable to limit access to system.pwd service");

passwd = cap_getpwuid(cappwd, uid[0]);
if (passwd == NULL)
	err(1, "Unable to get name of user");

printf("UID %d is associated with name %s.\\n", uid[0], passwd->pw_name);

cap_close(cappwd);
