Wow you guys reply quickly. :)  The above code doesn't look nice
either, so I think I will rather implement a alternative.

All I really use 'libc' for is to retrieve the user name and group
name from the user and group id's of files.  As I said, it's not
critical, I can always display the id's only.  Or maybe parse the
/etc/groups and /etc/passwd files to get the names, but I heard that's
not very accurate for some reason.


Thanks again Marco and Daniël for the quick replies!
