Is there an API in Cocoa (or Carbon I guess) to get the name of the current
user under OS X? Searching the apple docs got me nothing.

Use the function NSUserName(), which is in Foundation. This is documented in the "Functions" section of the HTML documentation, which is very easy to overlook.

(I wonder how many answers this question will get? No one's answered it yet, but surely we're all typing away at the same time...)
