Crate whoami

Crate for getting the user's username, realname and environment.

Getting Started

Using the whoami crate is super easy! All of the public items are simple functions with no parameters that return Strings or OsStrings (with the exception of desktop_env(), and platform() which return enums). The following example shows how to use all of the functions (except those that return OsString):

fn main() {
    println!(
        "User→Name      whoami::realname():    {}",
        whoami::realname()
    );
    println!(
        "User→Username  whoami::username():    {}",
        whoami::username()
    );
    println!(
        "Host→Name      whoami::devicename():  {}",
        whoami::devicename()
    );
    println!(
        "Host→Hostname  whoami::hostname():    {}",
        whoami::hostname()
    );
    println!(
        "Platform       whoami::platform():    {}",
        whoami::platform()
    );
    println!(
        "OS Distro      whoami::distro():      {}",
        whoami::distro()
    );
    println!(
        "Desktop Env.   whoami::desktop_env(): {}",
        whoami::desktop_env()
    );
}
