1 user.module user_format_name($account)

Format a username.

By default, the passed-in object's 'name' property is used if it exists, or else, the site-defined value for the 'anonymous' variable. However, a module may override this by implementing hook_user_format_name_alter(&$name, $account).

Parameters

$account: The account object for the user whose name is to be formatted.

Return value

An unsanitized string with the username to display. The code receiving: this result must ensure that check_plain() is called on it before it is printed to the page.
