The user name is cached so that multiple calls with the same .Fa uid do not require additional calls to .Xr getpwuid 3 . If there is no user associated with the .Fa uid , a pointer is returned to a string representation of the .Fa uid , unless the argument .Fa nouser is non-zero, in which case a .Dv NULL pointer is returned.
