> Get the username of the current user

This module is meant for informational purposes and not for secure identification.

**Requires the `--allow-env` and `--allow-run` flags**.

## Usage

```js

import username from "https://deno.land/x/username/mod.ts";

await username();

// ---> 'justjavac'

```

## API

It first tries to get the username from the `SUDO_USER` `LOGNAME` `USER` `LNAME` `USERNAME` environment variables.

Then falls back to `$ id -un` on macOS / Linux and `$ whoami` on Windows, in the rare case none of the environment variables are set.

### username()

Returns a `Promise` with the username.
