#include <lastlog2.h>

int ll2_rename_user (struct ll2_context *context, const char *user, const char *newname, char **error);

DESCRIPTION

    char    *error = NULL;
    const   char *user = "root";
    const   char *new_user = "notroot";

    int ret = ll2_rename_user (NULL, user, new_user, &error);

RETURN VALUE

Returns 0 on success, -ENOMEM or -1 on other failure. error contains an error string if the return value is -1. error is not guaranteed to contain an error string, could also be NULL. error should be freed by the caller.
