npm install pwd2``js
var fs = require('fs');
var pwd = require('pwd2');
var stat = fs.statSync(path);
var passwd = pwd.getpwuid(stat.uid);
console.log('the username for "' + path + '" is: ' + passwd.pw_name);
`Installation
`sh`
$ npm install pwd2 --save
There is two available functions:
+ getpwuid(uid)
`js`
var passwd = pwd.getpwuid(0);
+ getpwnam(name)js`
var passwd = pwd.getpwnam('root');
These functions obtain information from opendirectoryd(8), including records in /etc/master.passwd which is described in master.passwd(5).
Each entry in the database is defined by the structure passwd found in the include file <pwd.h>:
