Module Core_unix.Passwd

Structure of entries in the passwd database

type t = {
name : string;
passwd : string;
uid : int;
gid : int;
gecos : string;
dir : string;
shell : string;
}
val compare : t -> t -> int
include Ppx_sexp_conv_lib.Sexpable.S with type t := t
type t
val t_of_sexp : Sexplib0.Sexp.t -> t
val sexp_of_t : t -> Sexplib0.Sexp.t
val getbyname : string -> t option
val getbyname_exn : string -> t
val getbyuid : int -> t option
val getbyuid_exn : int -> t
val getpwents : unit -> t list

getpwents is a thread-safe wrapper over the low-level passwd database functions. The order in which the results are returned is not deterministic.
