  pub fn posixGetUserInfo(name: []const u8) !UserInfo {

    defer file.close();
    var buffer: [4096]u8 = undefined;
    var file_reader = file.reader(&buffer);
    return posixGetUserInfoPasswdStream(name, &file_reader.interface) catch |err| switch (err) {
        error.ReadFailed => return file_reader.err.?,
        error.EndOfStream => return error.UserNotFound,
