Additionally -it has a cgo dependency on Darwin systems. This means that any Go code -that uses that package cannot cross compile. But 99% of the time the -use for `os/user` is just to retrieve the home directory, which we can -do for the current user without cgo. This library does that, enabling -cross-compilation. |
