NAME
App::UnixUIDUtils - Utilities related to Unix UID/GID
VERSION
This document describes version 0.002 of App::UnixUIDUtils (from Perl
distribution App-UnixUIDUtils), released on 2022-07-24.
DESCRIPTION
This distributions provides the following command-line utilities:
* gid-to-groupname
* groupname-to-gid
* uid-to-username
* username-to-uid
FUNCTIONS
gid_to_groupname
Usage:
gid_to_groupname(%args) -> [$status_code, $reason, $payload, \%result_meta]
This function is not exported.
Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):
* group* => *unix::groupname::exists*
Returns an enveloped result (an array).
First element ($status_code) is an integer containing HTTP-like status
code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second
element ($reason) is a string containing error message, or something
like "OK" if status is 200. Third element ($payload) is the actual
result, but usually not present when enveloped result is an error
response ($status_code is not 2xx). Fourth element (%result_meta) is
called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra
information, much like how HTTP response headers provide additional
metadata.
Return value: (any)

CONTRIBUTING
To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull
requests on GitHub.
Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You
can simply modify the code, then test via:
% prove -l
If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally
on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla,
Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two
other Dist::Zilla plugin and/or Pod::Weaver::Plugin. Any additional
steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to
me.
