WHOAMI(1)

💅 WHOAMI(1) 💅

okay bestie so real talk — this is a Perl-flavoured page, it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section of the manual (iykyk), and it is genuinely the shortest little icon you will ever read. no cap. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

whoami — display effective user ID 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

whoami

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no flags, no arguments, no drama 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so what it does is: it prints the username associated with the current effective user ID. literally just that.

and here's the tea — it's the exact same thing as running id -un. same result, different font. so if you've ever been like "who even am I right now" (relatable), this is the command that answers it, no notes 🔥

👑 AUTHOR 👑
