User Commands ckuid(1)
NAME
ckuid, erruid, helpuid, valuid - prompts for and validates a
user ID
SYNOPSIS
ckuid [-Q] [-W width] [-m] [-d default] [-h help] [-e error]
[-p prompt] [ -k pid [-s signal]]
/usr/sadm/bin/erruid [-W width] [-e error]
/usr/sadm/bin/helpuid [-W width] [-m] [-h help]
/usr/sadm/bin/valuid input
DESCRIPTION
The ckuid utility prompts a user and validates the response.
It defines, among other things, a prompt message whose
response should be an existing user ID, text for help and
error messages, and a default value (which are returned if
the user responds with a <RETURN>).
All messages are limited in length to 70 characters and are
formatted automatically. Any white space used in the defini-
tion (including NEWLINE) is stripped. The -W option cancels
the automatic formatting. When a tilde is placed at the
beginning or end of a message definition, the default text
is inserted at that point, allowing both custom text and the
default text to be displayed.
If the prompt, help or error message is not defined, the
default message (as defined under NOTES) is displayed.
Three visual tool modules are linked to the ckuid command.
They are erruid (which formats and displays an error mes-
sage), helpuid (which formats and displays a help message),
and valuid (which validates a response). These modules
should be used in conjunction with FML objects. In this
instance, the FML object defines the prompt.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-d default Defines the default value as default. The
default is not validated and so does not
have to meet any criteria.
-e error Defines the error message as error.
