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 or >0 if an error occurred.

     The logname utility conforms to IEEE Std1003.2-1992 (``POSIX.2'').
