214
215=head1 DESCRIPTION
216
217This module's default exports override the core getpwent(), getpwuid(),
218and getpwnam() functions, replacing them with versions that return
219C<User::pwent> objects. This object has methods that return the
220similarly named structure field name from the C's passwd structure
221from F<pwd.h>, stripped of their leading "pw_" parts, namely C<name>,
222C<passwd>, C<uid>, C<gid>, C<change>, C<age>, C<quota>, C<comment>,
223C<class>, C<gecos>, C<dir>, C<shell>, and C<expire>. The C<passwd>,
224C<gecos>, and C<shell> fields are tainted when running in taint mode.
225
226You may also import all the structure fields directly into your
227namespace as regular variables using the :FIELDS import tag. (Note
228that this still overrides your core functions.) Access these fields
229as variables named with a preceding C<pw_> in front their method
230names. Thus, C<< $passwd_obj->shell >> corresponds to $pw_shell
231if you import the fields.
232
233The getpw() function is a simple front-end that forwards
234a numeric argument to getpwuid() and the rest to getpwnam().
235
236To access this functionality without the core overrides, pass the
237C<use> an empty import list, and then access function functions
238with their full qualified names. The built-ins are always still
239available via the C<CORE::> pseudo-package.
240
241=head2 System Specifics
242
243Perl believes that no machine ever has more than one of C<change>,
244C<age>, or C<quota> implemented, nor more than one of either
245C<comment> or C<class>. Some machines do not support C<expire>,
246C<gecos>, or allegedly, C<passwd>. You may call these methods
247no matter what machine you're on, but they return C<undef> if
248unimplemented.
249
250You may ask whether one of these was implemented on the system Perl
251was built on by asking the importable C<pw_has> function about them.
252This function returns true if all parameters are supported fields
253on the build platform, false if one or more were not, and raises
254an exception if you asked about a field that Perl never knows how
255to provide. Parameters may be in a space-separated string, or as
256separate arguments. If you pass no parameters, the function returns
257the list of C<struct pwd> fields supported by your build platform's
258C library, as a list in list context, or a space-separated string
259in scalar context. Note that just because your C library had
260a field doesn't necessarily mean that it's fully implemented on
261that system.
262
263Interpretation of the C<gecos> field varies between systems, but
264traditionally holds 4 comma-separated fields containing the user's
265full name, office location, work phone number, and home phone number.
266An C<&> in the gecos field should be replaced by the user's properly
267capitalized login C<name>. The C<shell> field, if blank, must be
268assumed to be F</bin/sh>. Perl does not do this for you. The
269C<passwd> is one-way hashed garble, not clear text, and may not be
270unhashed save by brute-force guessing. Secure systems use more a
271more secure hashing than DES. On systems supporting shadow password
272systems, Perl automatically returns the shadow password entry when
273called by a suitably empowered user, even if your underlying
274vendor-provided C library was too short-sighted to realize it should
275do this.
276
277See passwd(5) and getpwent(3) for details.
278
279=head1 NOTE
280
281While this class is currently implemented using the Class::Struct
282module to build a struct-like class, you shouldn't rely upon this.

290=over 4
291
292=item March 18th, 2000
293
294Reworked internals to support better interface to dodgey fields
295than normal Perl function provides. Added pw_has() field. Improved
296documentation.
