Detailed Description

Represents a group on your system.

This class represents a group on your system. You can either get information about the group of the current user, of fetch information about a group on the system. Instances of this class will be explicitly shared, so copying objects is very cheap and you can safely pass objects by value.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

KUserGroup::KUserGroup ( const QString &  name )

explicit

Create an object from a group name.

If the group does not exist, isValid() will return false.

Parameters

name	the name of the group

Definition at line 366 of file kuser_unix.cpp.

KUserGroup::KUserGroup ( const char *  name )

explicit

Create an object from a group name.

If the group does not exist, isValid() will return false.

Parameters

name	the name of the group

Definition at line 371 of file kuser_unix.cpp.

KUserGroup::KUserGroup ( KGroupId  gid )

explicit

Creates an object for the group with the given group id.

If the KGroupId object is invalid this one will be, too.

Parameters

gid	the group id

Definition at line 361 of file kuser_unix.cpp.

KUserGroup::KUserGroup ( KUser::UIDMode  mode = KUser::UseEffectiveUID )

explicit

Create an object from the group of the current user.

Parameters

mode

if KUser::UseEffectiveUID is passed the effective user will be used. If KUser::UseRealUserID is passed the real user will be used. The real UID will be different than the effective UID in setuid programs; in such a case use the effective UID for checking permissions, and the real UID for displaying information about the group associated with the user.

Definition at line 351 of file kuser_unix.cpp.

KUserGroup::KUserGroup ( K_GID  gid )

explicit

Create an object from a group id.

If the group does not exist, isValid() will return false.

Parameters

gid	the group id

Definition at line 356 of file kuser_unix.cpp.

KUserGroup::KUserGroup ( const group *  g )

explicit

Creates an object from a group structure.

If the pointer is null, isValid() will return false.

Parameters

g	the group structure to create the group from.

KUserGroup::KUserGroup

(

const KUserGroup &

group

)

Creates a new KUserGroup instance from another KUserGroup object.

Parameters

group

the KUserGroup to copy

Definition at line 381 of file kuser_unix.cpp.

KUserGroup::~KUserGroup

(

)

Destructor.

Definition at line 500 of file kuser_unix.cpp.

QList< KUserGroup > KUserGroup::allGroups ( uint  maxCount = KCOREADDONS_UINT_MAX )

static

Parameters

maxCount

the maximum number of groups to return

Returns

a list of all groups on this system

K_GID KUserGroup::gid ( ) const

inline

Returns the group id of the group.

Returns

the group id of the group or -1 if the group is invalid

KGroupId KUserGroup::groupId

(

)

const

Invalid groups always compare unequal.

Returns

true if the groups are not identical

Definition at line 626 of file kuser.h.

KUserGroup & KUserGroup::operator=

(

const KUserGroup &

group

)

Returns

this group

bool KUserGroup::operator==

(

const KUserGroup &

group

)

const

Two KUserGroup objects are equal if their gid()s are identical.

Invalid groups never compare equal.

Returns

true if the groups are identical

Definition at line 392 of file kuser_unix.cpp.

QStringList KUserGroup::userNames

(

uint

maxCount = KCOREADDONS_UINT_MAX
