  <para>
   Returns an associative array with the following elements:
   <table>
    <title>The user information array</title>
    <tgroup cols="2">
     <thead>
      <row>
       <entry>Element</entry>
       <entry>Description</entry>
      </row>
     </thead>
     <tbody>
      <row>
       <entry>name</entry>
       <entry>
        The name element contains the username of the user. This is
        a short, usually less than 16 character "handle" of the
        user, not the real, full name.
       </entry>
      </row>
      <row>
       <entry>passwd</entry>
       <entry>
        The passwd element contains the user's password in an
        encrypted format. Often, for example on a system employing
        "shadow" passwords, an asterisk is returned instead.
       </entry>
      </row>
      <row>
       <entry>uid</entry>
       <entry>
        User ID, should be the same as the
        <parameter>uid</parameter> parameter used when calling the
        function, and hence redundant.
       </entry>
      </row>
      <row>
       <entry>gid</entry>
       <entry>
        The group ID of the user. Use the function
        <function>posix_getgrgid</function> to resolve the group
        name and a list of its members.
       </entry>
      </row>
      <row>
       <entry>gecos</entry>
       <entry>
        GECOS is an obsolete term that refers to the finger
        information field on a Honeywell batch processing system.
        The field, however, lives on, and its contents have been
        formalized by POSIX. The field contains a comma separated
        list containing the user's full name, office phone, office
        number, and home phone number. On most systems, only the
        user's full name is available.
       </entry>
      </row>
      <row>
       <entry>dir</entry>
       <entry>
        This element contains the absolute path to the
        home directory of the user.
       </entry>
      </row>
      <row>
       <entry>shell</entry>
       <entry>
        The shell element contains the absolute path to the
        executable of the user's default shell.
       </entry>
      </row>
