This module provides access to the \UNIX{} password database.
|
|
It is available on all \UNIX{} versions.
|
|
|
|
Password database entries are reported as 7-tuples containing the
|
|
following items from the password database (see \file{<pwd.h>}), in order:
|
|
\code{pw_name},
|
|
\code{pw_passwd},
|
|
\code{pw_uid},
|
|
\code{pw_gid},
|
|
\code{pw_gecos},
|
|
\code{pw_dir},
|
|
\code{pw_shell}.
|
|
The uid and gid items are integers, all others are strings.
|
|
A \code{KeyError} exception is raised if the entry asked for cannot be found.
|
|
|
|
It defines the following items:
|
|
|
|
\renewcommand{\indexsubitem}{(in module pwd)}
|
|
\begin{funcdesc}{getpwuid}{uid}

Return the password database entry for the given numeric user ID.
