pwd module for unix-y systems

link link="https://deps.rs/repo/gitlab/pwoolcoc/pwd",alt="dependency status"

This is a small veneer over pwd.h, mostly just hides away the unsafe parts.

Installation

In the [dependencies] section of your Cargo.toml, add the following line:

[source="rust"]

[dependencies]
pwd = "1"

Usage

[source="rust"]

use pwd::Passwd;

fn main() {
    let me = Passwd::current_user();
    println!("my username is {}, home directory is {}, and my shell is {}. My uid/gid are {}/{}",
             me.name, me.dir, me.shell, me.uid, me.gid);
}

lib.rs:

Safe interface to <pwd.h>

This module, named after the python module with the same function, is a safe interafce to pwd.h on unix-y systems. Currently nothing from this module compiles on Windows, or attempts to make any kind of similar interface for Windows.
