* The etc module provides access to information from the running OS. * The Etc module provides access to information typically stored in
* files in the /etc directory on Unix systems.
* *
* Documented by mathew <meta@pobox.com>. * The information accessible consists of the information found in the
* /etc/passwd and /etc/group files, plus information about the system's
* temporary directory (/tmp) and configuration directory (/etc).
*
* The Etc module provides a more reliable way to access information about
* the logged in user than environment variables such as $USER. For example:
*
* require 'etc'
*
* login = Etc.getlogin
* info = Etc.getpwnam(login)
* username = info.gecos.split(/,/).first
* puts "Hello #{username}, I see your login name is #{login}"
*
* Note that the methods provided by this module are not always secure.
* It should be used for informational purposes, and not for security.
