char* getuser(void)

char* sysname(void)

Getuser returns a pointer to static data which contains the null-terminated name of the user who owns the current process. Getuser reads /dev/user to find the name.

Sysname provides the same service for the file #c/sysname , which contains the name of the machine. Unlike getuser , sysname caches the string, reading the file only once.
