getline(3) is much more readable than manually looping. It has some overhead due to the allocation of a buffer, but that shouldn't be a problem here. If that was a problem, we could reuse the buffer (thus making the function non-reentrant), but I don't think that's worth the extra complexity. Using rpmatch(3) instead of a simple y/n test provides i18n to the response checking. We have a fall-back minimalistic implementation for systems that lack this function (e.g., musl libc). While we're at it, apply some other minor improvements to this file: - Remove comment saying which files use this function. That's likely to get outdated. And anyway, it's just a grep(1) away, so it doesn't really add any value. - Remove unnecessary casts to (void) that were used to verbosely ignore errors from stdio calls. They add clutter without really adding much value to the code (or I don't see it). - Remove comments from the function body. They make the function less readable. Instead, centralize the description of the function into a man-page-like comment before the function definition. This keeps the function body short and sweet. - Add '#include <stdbool.h>', which was missing. - Minor whitespace style changes (it doesn't hurt the diff at this point, since most of the affected lines were already touched by other changes, so I applied my preferred style :).

shadow-utils
Introduction
The shadow-utils package includes the necessary programs for converting UNIX password files to the shadow password format, plus programs for managing user and group accounts. The pwconv command converts passwords to the shadow password format. The pwunconv command unconverts shadow passwords and generates a passwd file (a standard UNIX password file). The pwck command checks the integrity of password and shadow files. The lastlog command prints out the last login times for all users. The useradd, userdel, and usermod commands are used for managing user accounts. The groupadd, groupdel, and groupmod commands are used for managing group accounts.
