/*
Package user allows user account lookups by name or id.

For most Unix systems, this package has two internal implementations of
resolving user and group ids to names, and listing supplementary group IDs.
One is written in pure Go and parses /etc/passwd and /etc/group. The other
is cgo-based and relies on the standard C library (libc) routines such as
getpwuid_r, getgrnam_r, and getgrouplist.

When cgo is available, and the required routines are implemented in libc
for a particular platform, cgo-based (libc-backed) code is used.
This can be overridden by using osusergo build tag, which enforces
the pure Go implementation.
