DESCRIPTION
The printpw command outputs the contents of the /etc/passwd database

with no option, all usernames in the database are output.
The /etc/passwd database file is accessed through the standard library
function getpwent. On secure systems that have changed this library
function or on systems with Network Information Service (NIS) service
installed, printpw produces the same information.
When printpw is called in combination with any option, one or more
additional columns separated with : (colon) is output.
