problem with struct passwd...

[GooMooPunch]

Hello,

I'm trying to print out the user's name, but am receiving an error:
------
struct passwd* user = getpwuid(getuid());

printf("\n %s \n", user.pw_name);

---------
the error I receive is:

request for member "pw_name" in something not a structure or union
-----

I'm not quite sure why this is happening...what can I do to print out the pw_name from the passwd structure?

Thanks

It's a pointer to a struct, so

printf("\n %s \n", user->pw_name);
