For arrays of char, both NITEMS() and SIZEOF_ARRAY() return the same value. However, NITEMS() is more appropriate. Think of wide-character equivalents of the same code; with NITEMS(), they would continue to be valid, while with SIZEOF_ARRAY(), they would be wrong. In the implementation of ZUSTR2STP(), we want SIZEOF_ARRAY() within the static assert, because we're just comparing the sizes of the source and destination buffers, and we don't care if we compare sizes or numbers of elements, and using sizes is just simpler. But we want NITEMS() in the zustr2stp() call, where we want to copy a specific number of characters. Signed-off-by: Alejandro Colomar <alx@kernel.org>
shadow-utils
Introduction
The shadow-utils package includes the necessary programs for converting UNIX password files to the shadow password format, plus programs for managing user and group accounts. The pwconv command converts passwords to the shadow password format. The pwunconv command unconverts shadow passwords and generates a passwd file (a standard UNIX password file). The pwck command checks the integrity of password and shadow files. The lastlog command prints out the last login times for all users. The useradd, userdel, and usermod commands are used for managing user accounts. The groupadd, groupdel, and groupmod commands are used for managing group accounts.
