Format a username.

This is also the label callback implementation of callback_entity_info_label() for user_entity_info().

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_username_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.
