Detailed Description
\class KUser kuser.h <KUser>
Represents a user on your system
This class represents a user on your system. You can either get information about the current user, of fetch information about a user 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.

Method Documentation
| __init__ | ( | self, | ||
| KUser.UIDMode | mode=KUser.UseEffectiveUID | |||
| ) |
Creates an object that contains information about the current user. (as returned by getuid(2) or geteuid(2), taking $LOGNAME/$USER into account).
- Parameters:
-
mode if #UseEffectiveUID is passed the effective user is returned. If #UseRealUserID is passed the real user will be returned. 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 user.
| __init__ | ( | self, | ||
| K_UID | uid | |||
| ) |
Creates an object for the user with the given user id. If the user does not exist isValid() will return false.

-
uid the user id
| __init__ | ( | self, | ||
