Request: Code to retrieve username of the user currently logged in

I'm trying to alter a module and need a function that retrieve the username of the user currently logged in.

I've tried reading a tutorial about module developement and looking at the code of userprofile.php, but I'm a pretty inexperienced coder and XOOPS is much more complicated than anything I've modified before.

This might belong in the Module developement section, but I think this might be pretty easy to figure out for some of you, so I'm posting here first.

So, anybody know the easiest way to do this?

(You don't have to explain how to build a module, just what code I need for this one thing.)

eg
<{if $xoops_isuser}>Welcome <{$xoops_uname}>
.&nbsp;<a href="<{$xoops_url}>/user.php">Your 
                 Account </a>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="<{$xoops_url}>/user.php?op=logout">Logout</a>
 <{else}>Welcome Guest. <a href="<{$xoops_url}>/register.php">Register</a> &nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href="<{$xoops_url}>/user.php">Sign In</a> 
                  <{/if}>

if (is_object($GLOBALS['xoopsUser'])) {
$name = $GLOBALS['xoopsUser']->getVar('uname');
}

Wanted it as a variable like trabis wrote.

(Sorry if I'm not presenting the issue correctly. As I said, i'm pretty new to this. (I find it awesome, though!))
