| |
| Redox OS APIs for accessing users and groups information. [Documentation](https://docs.rs/redox_users/0.1.0/redox_users/) |
| |
| High level APIs for: |
| |
| - Getting the current process effective user ID. |
| - Getting the current process user ID. |
| - Getting the current process effective group ID. |
| - Getting the current process group ID. |
| - Manipulating User and Group information (including adding, removing, and modifying groups and users, in addition to other functionality, see docs) |
| |
| We recommend to use these APIs instead of directly manipulating the |
| `/etc/group` and `/etc/passwd` as this is an implementation detail and |
| might change in the future. |
| |
| Note that redox_users is an API designed only for use on Redox. It compiles on other platforms (for testing), but it will not work and might produce unexpected behavior. |
| |
| ## Hashing |
| redox_users uses the Argon2 hashing algorithm. The default hashing parameters are as follows: |
| ```Rust |
| Argon2::new(10, 1, 4096, Variant::Argon2i) |
| ``` |
