I'm certain this is dead easy and I'm just overlooking it, but I want
to find out the current user's name from Objective C. I don't see
any foundation objects that look like they fit the bill.
In Windows, I would simply call the GetUserName() API call:
char *szUser;
DWORD cbUser = MAX_PATH;
szUser = new char[cbUser];
GetUserName(szUser, &cbUser);
printf("Current User Name: %s\n", szUser);
delete szUser;
Unfortunately I don't see an equivalent. I'm assuming I need
something from the Core Foundation to do this, but I'm not entirely
certain where to even look. Any suggestions?
Take a look at NSUserName and NSFullUserName. They are
in 'Path Utilities' ( ? ! ? ) in Foundation Functions . . .
Best Wishes,
