DESCRIPTION
     _P_u_t_p_w_e_n_t is the inverse of _g_e_t_p_w_e_n_t(3C).  Given a pointer to
     a  _p_a_s_s_w_d  structure  as created by _g_e_t_p_w_e_n_t (or _g_e_t_p_w_u_i_d or
     _g_e_t_p_w_n_a_m - see _g_e_t_p_w_e_n_t(3C)), _p_u_t_p_w_e_n_t writes a line on  the
     stream _f which matches the format of /_e_t_c/_p_a_s_s_w_d.

DIAGNOSTICS
     _P_u_t_p_w_e_n_t returns non-zero if an error  was  detected  during
     its operation, otherwise zero.
