Implements getpwuid() in a MySQL UDF

lib_mysqludf_getpwuid's Issues

function only returns "name" portion of passwd structure

Would be nice for this to return complete data from the passwd structure:

       struct passwd {
           char   *pw_name;       /* username */
           char   *pw_passwd;     /* user password */
           uid_t   pw_uid;        /* user ID */
           gid_t   pw_gid;        /* group ID */
           char   *pw_gecos;      /* user information */
           char   *pw_dir;        /* home directory */
           char   *pw_shell;      /* shell program */
       };

I think the only way it would work would be to have multiple functions:

lib_mysqludf_getpwuid_name( 101 )
lib_mysqludf_getpwuid_uid( 101 )
lib_mysqludf_getpwuid_gid( 101 )
lib_mysqludf_getpwuid_gecos( 101 )

etc. etc.

I had considered two arguments, vis:

    lib_mysqludf_getpwuid( 'name', 101 )

But I dont' think that will work because we have to structure the function differently based on return type (name is string, uid is int, etc.)

rename function

Rename to "lib_mysqludf_getpwnam" to make it consistent with Unix documentation

Implement getpwnam()

Implement the getpwnam() function
