Whoami

Retrieve the current user and environment.

Getting Started

Using the whoami crate is super easy! All of the exported items are simple functions with no parameters that return Strings (with the exception of env, which returns an enum). The following example shows how to use all of the functions:

use whoami;

fn main() {
    print!(
        "--------------------------------------\n\
         user's full name (user):              {}\n\
         username (username):                  {}\n\
         --------------------------------------\n\
         host's fancy name (host):             {}\n\
         hostname (hostname):                  {}\n\
         --------------------------------------\n\
         operating system (os):                {}\n\
         desktop environment (env):            {}\n\
         --------------------------------------\n\
         ",
        whoami::user(),
        whoami::username(),
        whoami::host(),
        whoami::hostname(),
        whoami::os(),
        whoami::env(),
    );
}
