# 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 either a `String` or enum. The
following example shows how to use all of the functions:
```rust
fn main() {
print!(
"user's full name whoami::user(): {}\n\
username whoami::username(): {}\n\
host's fancy name whoami::host(): {}\n\
hostname whoami::hostname(): {}\n\
platform whoami::platform(): {}\n\
operating system whoami::os(): {}\n\
desktop environment whoami::env(): {}\n\
",
whoami::user(),
whoami::username(),
whoami::host(),
whoami::hostname(),
whoami::platform(),
whoami::os(),
whoami::env(),
);
}
```

# Contributing
Contributors are always welcome! Whether it is a bug report, bug fix, feature
request, feature implementation or whatever. Don't be shy about getting
involved. I always make time to fix bugs, so usually a patched version of the
library will be out soon after a report. Features take me longer, though. I'll
also always listen to any design critiques you have. If you have any questions
you can email me at jeronlau@plopgrizzly.com. Otherwise, here's a link to the
[issues on GitHub](https://github.com/libcala/whoami/issues).
And, as always, make sure to always follow the
[code of conduct](https://github.com/libcala/whoami/blob/master/CODEOFCONDUCT.md).
Happy coding!
