Re: Python: debugging system calls

["Alan Jones" <skyphyr(at)gmail.com>]

I Bernard for the example of whoami you can instead use environment
variables to pull the same data.

       char * buffer;
       #ifdef Q_OS_WIN
       buffer = getenv ("USERNAME");
       #endif

       #ifdef Q_OS_DARWIN
       buffer = getenv ("USER");
       #endif

       #ifdef Q_OS_UNIX
       buffer = getenv ("USER");
       #endif

That's the C++ edition, sorry - no python here.

Cheers,

Alan.
