Is there some standard way to get the current short user name?
I'm using this code, which I cribbed from a developer.apple.com page
on supporting fast user switching. It works fine on my development
machine, but on a machine that's only got one account, it turns out
it's not the right answer. Makes sense, I guess.
CFStringRef shortUserName;
CFDictionaryRef sessionInfoDict;
sessionInfoDict = CGSessionCopyCurrentDictionary();
if (sessionInfoDict == NULL)
NSLog(@"Unable to get session dictionary.");
shortUserName = CFDictionaryGetValue(sessionInfoDict,
kCGSessionUserNameKey);
Some new ideas would be great.
thanks
