Overview ¶
Package getent resolves users and groups through the host's NSS stack. Built without cgo, os/user reads /etc/passwd and /etc/group alone and misses anything LDAP, SSSD or winbind provide; the getent and id commands resolve through NSS whatever the build. The lookups here try the standard library first, which needs no subprocess, and fall back to those commands.

Functions ¶
func CurrentUser ¶
CurrentUser returns the user this process runs as.
func GroupIDs ¶
GroupIDs returns the IDs of the groups the user is a member of; libc's getgrouplist handles NSS groups natively.
func GroupMembers ¶
GroupMembers returns the names of the group's members: from getent, which resolves through NSS, or from /etc/group where getent is not available. A group neither source describes is an error; an empty member list is not, since accounts with the group as their primary one are not listed in it.
func LookupGroupID ¶
LookupGroupID looks up a group by GID.
func LookupUser ¶
LookupUser looks up a user by name.
func LookupUserID ¶
LookupUserID looks up a user by UID.
