# Unix::Groups

Access to the Unix group file in Raku

![Build Status](https://github.com/jonathanstowe/Unix-Groups/workflows/CI/badge.svg)

## Synopsis

```raku
use Unix::Groups;

my $groups = Unix::Groups.new;

say "The logged in user is member of these groups:";

for $groups.groups-for-user($*USER.Str) -> $group {
say $group.name;
}
```

## Description

This module provides access to the group details from ```/etc/group```,
with similar to ```getgrent()```, ```getgrnam``` and ```getgrgid```
in the Unix standard C library.

The methods either return a Unix::Groups::Group object or an array of
those objects.

Because this module goes directly to the group file, if your system is
configured to retrieve its group information from e.g. NIS or LDAP it
may not necessarily reflect all the groups present, just the local ones.

## Installation

Assuming you have a working Rakudo installation you should be able to install this with *zef* :

# From the source directory

zef install .

# Remote installation

zef install User::Groups

## Support

Suggestions/patches are welcomed via github at https://github.com/jonathanstowe/User-Groups/issues
