Change that to more descriptive names like "homedir".

Repeating the default WARNS here makes it slightly more difficult to
experiment with default WARNS changes, e.g. if we did something absolutely
bananas and introduced a WARNS=7 and wanted to try lifting the default to
that.
Drop most of them; there is one in the blake2 kernel module, but I suspect
it should be dropped -- the default WARNS in the rest of the build doesn't
currently apply to kernel modules, and I haven't put too much thought into
whether it makes sense to make it so.
The caller-supplied pointer is unconditionally dereferenced at the
beginning of the function, so there is no point in comparing it with
NULL thereafter.

When deleting a user, if its home directory does not belong to it, it should
not be removed. This is the promise that the manpage makes, the tool should
ensure that it respects that promise.

Instead of using pw to modify group membership, users often edit
/etc/group by hand, which is discouraged. Provide an example of
adding a user to the wheel group, which is a common use case.
I'm using a different user here as in the previous example as that
deleted the user (although the examples don't necessarily have to
be followed in order).

It was also leading to segfaults; pw can be NULL when control reaches these

pw_scan(3) has been fixed in a way that doesn't perturb other callers of
it or the getpwnam(3) family.
Make pw(8) showuser work the same with or without -R <path> for non-root
users. Without -R, pw(8) uses getpwnam(3), which will open master.passwd
for the root user or passwd for non-root users. With -R <path> pw(8) was
always opening <path>/master.passwd, which would fail for a non-root user,
then falsely claim the userid you're trying to show doesn't exist.
Now for a non-root user it opens <path>/passwd, and populates the fields in
the returned struct passwd which aren't present in that file with well-known
canonical values, which duplicates the behavior of getpwnam(3). The net
effect is that the showuser output is identical whether using -R or not.

Two PRs (152084 & 210187) request allowing the "@" and/or "!"

not mention that those characters are disallowed, Linux supports those
characters in this field, and the "@" character in particular would be
useful for storing email addresses in that field.

Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I
was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error
prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification
to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known
opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting
that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way,
superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended.
Previouly it was possible to create users with spaces in the name with:
pw useradd -u 1234 -g 1234 -n 'test user'
The "-g 1234" is relevant, without it the name was already rejected
as expected:
[fk@test ~]$ sudo pw useradd -u 1234 -n 'test user'
pw: invalid character ` ' at position 4 in userid/group name
Bug unintentionally found with a salt config without explicit name entry:
test user:
user.present:
- uid: 1234
- gid: 1234
- fullname: Test user
- shell: /usr/local/bin/bash
- home: /home/test
- groups:
- wheel
- salt
"Luckily" salt modules rarely bother with input validation either ...

Previouly it was a nop because split_groups() only intitialised

r285050 fixed a bug in pw that could lead to /etc/passwd or /etc/group
corruption on power loss. However, it fixed it by opening those files with
O_SYNC, which is very slow, especially on ZFS. This change replaces O_SYNC
with appropriately placed fsync()s instead, which is much faster. Using a
ZFS tmpdir, the time to run pw's kyua tests drops from 245s to 35s.
