DESCRIPTION
  The logname command writes to standard output the name you used to log into
  the system.

NOTES
  The logname command explicitly ignores the LOGNAME environment variable to
  avoid erroneous results from environment changes.

EXIT STATUS
  The following exit values are returned:

  0   Successful completion.

  >0  The getlogin() utility would fail.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
  The following environment variables affect the execution of *cmd*:

  LANG
      Provides a default value for the internationalization variables that
      are unset or null. If LANG is unset or null, the corresponding value
      from the default locale is used.	If any of the internationalization
      variables contain an invalid setting, the utility behaves as if none of
      the variables had been defined.

  LC_ALL
      If set to a non-empty string value, overrides the values of all the
      other internationalization variables.

  LC_CTYPE
      Determines the locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes of
      text data as characters (for example, single-byte as opposed to
      multibyte characters in arguments).

  LC_MESSAGES
      Determines the locale for the format and contents of diagnostic
      messages written to standard error.

  NLSPATH
      Determines the location of message catalogues for the processing of
      LC_MESSAGES.
