R: Lookup Users and Groups on a system

id {fs} | R Documentation

## Lookup Users and Groups on a system

### Description

These functions use the GETPWENT(3) and GETGRENT(3) system calls to query users and groups respectively.

### Usage

    group_ids()

    user_ids()

### Value

They return their results in a `data.frame`. On windows both functions return an empty `data.frame` because windows does not have user or group ids.

### Examples

    # list first 6 groups
    head(group_ids())

    # list first 6 users
    head(user_ids())
