This object has methods that return the +similarly named structure field name from the C's passwd structure +from \fIpwd.h\fR, stripped of their leading "pw_" parts, namely \f(CW\*(C`name\*(C'\fR, +\&\f(CW\*(C`passwd\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`uid\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`gid\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`change\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`age\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`quota\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`comment\*(C'\fR, +\&\f(CW\*(C`class\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`gecos\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`dir\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`shell\*(C'\fR, and \f(CW\*(C`expire\*(C'\fR. The \f(CW\*(C`passwd\*(C'\fR, +\&\f(CW\*(C`gecos\*(C'\fR, and \f(CW\*(C`shell\*(C'\fR fields are tainted when running in taint mode. +.PP +You may also import all the structure fields directly into your +namespace as regular variables using the :FIELDS import tag. (Note +that this still overrides your core functions.) Access these fields +as variables named with a preceding \f(CW\*(C`pw_\*(C'\fR in front their method +names. Thus, \f(CW\*(C`$passwd_obj\->shell\*(C'\fR corresponds to \f(CW$pw_shell\fR +if you import the fields. +.PP +The \fBgetpw()\fR function is a simple front-end that forwards +a numeric argument to \fBgetpwuid()\fR and the rest to \fBgetpwnam()\fR. +.PP +To access this functionality without the core overrides, pass the +\&\f(CW\*(C`use\*(C'\fR an empty import list, and then access function functions +with their full qualified names. The built-ins are always still +available via the \f(CW\*(C`CORE::\*(C'\fR pseudo-package. +.SS "System Specifics" +.IX Subsection "System Specifics" +Perl believes that no machine ever has more than one of \f(CW\*(C`change\*(C'\fR, +\&\f(CW\*(C`age\*(C'\fR, or \f(CW\*(C`quota\*(C'\fR implemented, nor more than one of either +\&\f(CW\*(C`comment\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`class\*(C'\fR. Some machines do not support \f(CW\*(C`expire\*(C'\fR, +\&\f(CW\*(C`gecos\*(C'\fR, or allegedly, \f(CW\*(C`passwd\*(C'\fR. You may call these methods +no matter what machine you're on, but they return \f(CW\*(C`undef\*(C'\fR if +unimplemented. +.PP +You may ask whether one of these was implemented on the system Perl +was built on by asking the importable \f(CW\*(C`pw_has\*(C'\fR function about them. +This function returns true if all parameters are supported fields +on the build platform, false if one or more were not, and raises +an exception if you asked about a field that Perl never knows how +to provide. Parameters may be in a space-separated string, or as +separate arguments. If you pass no parameters, the function returns +the list of \f(CW\*(C`struct pwd\*(C'\fR fields supported by your build platform's +C library, as a list in list context, or a space-separated string +in scalar context. Note that just because your C library had +a field doesn't necessarily mean that it's fully implemented on +that system. +.PP +Interpretation of the \f(CW\*(C`gecos\*(C'\fR field varies between systems, but +traditionally holds 4 comma-separated fields containing the user's +full name, office location, work phone number, and home phone number. +An \f(CW\*(C`&\*(C'\fR in the gecos field should be replaced by the user's properly +capitalized login \f(CW\*(C`name\*(C'\fR. The \f(CW\*(C`shell\*(C'\fR field, if blank, must be +assumed to be \fI/bin/sh\fR. Perl does not do this for you. The +\&\f(CW\*(C`passwd\*(C'\fR is one-way hashed garble, not clear text, and may not be +unhashed save by brute-force guessing. Secure systems use more a +more secure hashing than DES. On systems supporting shadow password +systems, Perl automatically returns the shadow password entry when +called by a suitably empowered user, even if your underlying +vendor-provided C library was too short-sighted to realize it should +do this. +.PP +See \fBpasswd\fR\|(5) and \fBgetpwent\fR\|(3) for details. +.SH NOTE +.IX Header "NOTE" +While this class is currently implemented using the Class::Struct +module to build a struct-like class, you shouldn't rely upon this. +.SH AUTHOR +.IX Header "AUTHOR" +Tom Christiansen +.SH HISTORY +.IX Header "HISTORY" +.IP "March 18th, 2000" 4 +.IX Item "March 18th, 2000" +Reworked internals to support better interface to dodgey fields +than normal Perl function provides.
