setspent() -- General Function (libc)

Rewind the shadow-password file
#include <shadow.h>
setspent()

The COHERENT  system has  four routines  that search the  file /etc/shadow,
which  contains  the password  of  every user  of  the system.   setspent()
rewinds the  password file -- that  is, it resets the  seek pointer so that
subsequent searches of  the file start at the beginning  of the file.  This
function does not return a meaningful value.
