    The set of functions used to access the shadow file are named 
    similar to the getpwent family of functions but use an "sp" instead
    of the "pw".  So you have a getspent(), etc.
    
    /usr/include/shadow.h has the structures used by these functions.
    
    I can't find any reference to these functions in the 386/ix, AT&T,
    or Bell Tech documentation sets.

Check out the ``AT&T UNIX V.3.2 Integrated Software Development Guide'' that
comes with the 386/ix software development package.  Appendix A has man
pages for both getspent(3X) and putspent(3X).
