Unix::Passwd::File can be used to read and manipulate entries in Unix system
|
||
|
|
password files (/etc/passwd, /etc/group, /etc/group, /etc/gshadow) but can also
|
||
|
|
be told to search in custom location, for testing purposes).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This module uses a procedural (non-OO) interface. Each function in this module
|
||
|
|
open and read the passwd files once. Read-only functions like `list_users()` and
|
||
|
|
`get_max_gid()` open in read-only mode. Functions that might write to the files
|
||
|
|
like `add_user()` or `delete_group()` first lock `passwd.lock` file, open in
|
||
|
|
read+write mode and also read the files in the first pass, then seek to the
|
||
|
|
beginning and write back the files.
|
||
|

|

|
|
No caching is done so you should do your own if you need to.
