libparzel-shadow

A simple parser for reading the /etc/shadow-file on a linux-system. The API should be self-explanatory for anyone in the know of the concept of iterators.

Building

Run bash build.bash <PROFILE> where profile can be one of small, release or debug. Alternatively, the script can just be started for getting a prompt of what should be done.

After that, the binary files can be removed using bash build.bash cleanup.

Test Executable

The test executable writes out the names of all users in the file at /etc/shadow to STDOUT. It needs superuser permission.

TO-DO

Currently, only the user can be read out by the parser. More isn't needed at the moment. Once more is needed, it will be done.
