/sys$common/syshlp/HELPLIB.HLB  —  CRTL  getlogin  Description
    The getlogin function returns the login name of the user
    associated with the current session. If getlogin returns a non-
    null pointer, then that pointer points to the name that the user
    logged in under, even if there are several login names with the
    same user ID.

    The getlogin_r function is the reentrant version of getlogin.
    Upon successful completion, getlogin_r returns 0 and puts the
    name associated by the login activity with the controlling
    terminal of the current process in the character array pointed
    to by name. The array is namesize characters long and should
    have space for the name and the terminating null character. The
    maximum size of the login name is LOGIN_NAME_MAX.

    If getlogin_r is successful, name points to the name the user
    used at login, even if there are several login names with the
    same user ID.
