.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Udbuf
copies the current contents of the user's
.B u.u_dbuf
array into the array
.I name.
This is the most recent filename component decoded by the
kernel subroutine
.BR namei .
It is usually the last component of the filename which was
most 
recently presented by the user process to a system call.
If that file name, however,
refered to an entry in a `blind directory' (see
.IR bl (4))
the kernel may have randomized the name before using it.

On a VAX the
.I u.
area is in user space, and
the same effect may be had by:
.EX
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/dir.h>
#include <sys/user.h>

struct user *ua = (struct user *)(0x80000000 - UPAGES*NBPG);
strncpy(name, ua->u_dbuf, DIRSIZ);
