pwd
pwd — The password database
This module provides access to the Unix user account and password database. It is available on all Unix versions.
Password database entries are reported as a tuple-like object, whose attributes correspond to the members of the passwd structure (Attribute field below, see <pwd.h>):
| Index | Attribute | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | pw_name | Login name |
| 1 | pw_passwd | Optional encrypted password |
| 2 | pw_uid | Numerical user ID |
| 3 | pw_gid | Numerical group ID |
