+** Etc(Module)
+
+The module to retrieve information under /etc directory.  Available
+only on UNIX platforms.  All operations defined in this module are
+module functions, so that you can include Etc module into your class.
+
+Module Function:
+
+   getlogin
+
+	returns login name of the user.  It this fails, try getpwuid().
+
+   getpwnam(name)
+
+	searches in /etc/passwd file (or equivalent database), and
+	returns password entry for the user.  The return value is an
+	passwd structure, which has members described below.
+
+	  struct passwd
+	    name 	# user name(string)
+	    passwd	# encrypted password(string)
+	    uid		# user ID(integer)
+	    gid		# group ID(integer)
+	    gecos	# gecos field(string)
+	    dir		# home directory(string)
+	    shell	# login shell(string)
+	    # members below are optional
+	    change	# password change time(integer)
+	    quota	# quota value(integer)

+	detail.
+
+   getgrgid(gid)
+
+	searches in /etc/group file (or equivalent database), and
+	returns group entry for the group id.  The return value is an
+	group structure, which has members described below.
+
+	  struct group
+	    name 	# group name(string)
+	    passwd	# group password(string)
+	    gid		# group ID(integer)
+	    mem		# array of the group member names
+	  end
+
+	See getgrgid(3) for detail.
