• BREAKING: Changed Passwd field user_info to userInfo.
• BREAKING: Renamed clear_errno to clearErrno
• applied lint_hard with the objective of making the code more consistent.

Thanks to https://github.com/ab36245 for the contribution.

Updated empty structs to use Opaque

improved getlogin errors. Fixed bugs where we were comparing c null to the dart null which is not the same thing.

Added method to check if posix is supported.

Fixed chown. Now throws an exception if an error is returned rather then returning -1;

Added grp.h to allow access to posix groups.

Added passwd methods to library. Applied consistent naming convention to entry points that expose native types.

testing for setuid/setgid Added dart wrappers for a number of posix methods so users don't need to play with ffi internals. Fixed bug where the ctor args where not setting the fields. re-organised method location. changed path to lookup function. Cleaned up types. Corrected type for method. Added test for getcwd.

Converted most of the unistd.dart methods to dart types. Now need to see If we can actually call any of the methods. generated code for strings.h no conversions as yet.

Work on changing all types sent and returned from the api to dart types. Also changed the methods to all be global functions.

Still a chunk more work to do to complete the conversion of all data types. Next step will be to create some unit test to prove the basic process is working.

Some very early work on bindings to unistd.h. Started by generating bindings using ffigen and then begun cleanup with the intent that all passed/returned types are native Dart types.

generated code using ffigen.
