* Truncate user and group ids Calls to `getuid`, `getgid` and their `eid` variants fail to compile on 64bit Linux systems because the return value of the syscall is of `usize` and needs to be truncated to fit the size of `uid_t` that is 32 bit. Thanks to @FireFox317 for figuring this out in Zig's Discord channel! * Add a regression test for user and group ids * Replace @truncate with @intCast This should be safe because `uid_t` will be 32-bit. * Add missing import for getauxval * Add missing package names * Revert "Add missing import for getauxval" This reverts commit 38f93dc89effdf657f2b81a56b96527ce4083f52. * Skip user and group test if builtin.link_libc

The ultimate goal of the Zig project is to serve users. As a first-order effect, this means users of the compiler, helping programmers to write better software. Even more important, however, are the end-users.
Zig is intended to be used to help end-users accomplish their goals. Zig should be used to empower end-users, never to exploit them financially, or to limit their freedom to interact with hardware or software in any way.
However, such problems are best solved with social norms, not with software licenses. Any attempt to complicate the software license of Zig would risk compromising the value Zig provides.
Therefore, Zig is available under the MIT (Expat) License, and comes with a humble request: use it to make software better serve the needs of end-users.
This project redistributes code from other projects, some of which have other licenses besides MIT. Such licenses are generally similar to the MIT license for practical purposes. See the subdirectories and files inside lib/ for more details.
