NSUserName()
NSFullUserName()

It is not safe to assume that the name returned by NSUserName() identifies the user logged into the Mac OS X console. The user that started an application could be remotely logged in or logged in via a Unix shell. Cocoa does not currently provide any way to identify the user logged into the console. Apple provides several techni- cal notes on the subject. A Carbon function and example code to identify the current console user is available at <http://developer.apple.com/qa/ qa2001/qa1133.html>. Like all Carbon functions, it can be called from Cocoa applications.
