fs (version 1.6.0)

id: Lookup Users and Groups on a system

Description

These functions use the GETPWENT(3) and GETGRENT(3) system calls to query users and groups respectively.

Usage

group_ids()

user_ids()

Arguments

Value

They return their results in a data.frame. On windows both functions return an empty data.frame because windows does not have user or group ids.

# list first 6 groups
head(group_ids())

# list first 6 users
head(user_ids())
