+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn user_from_uid
+function returns the user name associated with the argument
+.Fa uid .
+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 null pointer is returned.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn uid_from_user
+function returns the user ID associated with the argument
+.Fa name .
+The user ID is cached so that multiple calls with the same
+.Fa name
+do not require additional calls to
+.Xr getpwnam 3 .
+If there is no user ID associated with the
+.Fa name ,
+the
+.Fn uid_from_user
+function returns -1;
+otherwise it stores the user ID at the location pointed to by
+.Fa uid
+and returns 0.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn group_from_gid
+function returns the group name associated with the argument
+.Fa gid .
+The group name is cached so that multiple calls with the same
+.Fa gid
+do not require additional calls to
+.Xr getgrgid 3 .
+If there is no group associated with the
+.Fa gid ,
+a pointer is returned
+to a string representation of the
+.Fa gid ,
+unless the argument
+.Fa nogroup
+is non-zero, in which case a null pointer is returned.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn gid_from_group
+function returns the group ID associated with the argument
+.Fa name .
+The group ID is cached so that multiple calls with the same
+.Fa name
+do not require additional calls to
+.Xr getgrnam 3 .
+If there is no group ID associated with the
+.Fa name ,
+the
+.Fn gid_from_group
+function returns -1;
+otherwise it stores the group ID at the location pointed to by

+and returns 0.
