omst

Reveals whomst thou art with a single character.

License

Available via the Anti-Capitalist Software License for individuals, non-profit organisations, and worker-owned businesses.

Installation

Just build omst for your system and install it in /usr/bin.

Usage

omst prints one of five characters based upon your effective user permissions:

1. # for absolute permissions (i.e. root, administrator)
2. @ for system users
3. $ for ordinary users
4. % for restricted users (e.g. nobody, guest)
5. ? if any error occurs

In all cases, the character is followed by a newline. If an error occurs, it may be printed to stderr; be sure to suppress this error if you plan to use the character in a prompt.

System support

Currently, unix-family systems (including Linux, Mac OS, and most BSDs) and Windows are supported. Android and iOS support is currently not available.
