Id (Unix) 3230912 211075640 2008-05-08T18:03:13Z Ghettoblaster 6603820 misc fixes / cleanup {{lowercase}} In [[computer software]], '''id''' is a program in [[Unix-like]] [[operating system]]s that prints the [[User identifier (Unix)|UID]] of the account of which the program is executed by. Example: foobar@darkstar:~$ id uid=1016(foobar) gid=100(users) groups=100(users) The [[superuser|root]] account has a UID of 0. The ''[[whoami]]'' utility has been obsoleted by the '''id''' utility and displays a user's ID as a name. The command id -un is equivalent, however id -p is suggested for normal interactive use. == See also == *[[List of Unix programs]] *[[User identifier (Unix)|UID]] *[[Group identifier (Unix)|GID]] *[[Who (Unix)|who]] *[[uname]] == References == *{{man|cu|id|SUS|return user identity}} {{Unix commands}} [[Category:Unix software]] [[pl:Id (Unix)]] [[ru:Id]]
