The homeof program

homeof prints the home directory of a user.

Interface 

     homeof user
homeof finds the name of user's home directory, writes it on stdout, then exits 0. If an error occurs, it prints nothing on stdout but exits 111 with an explanatory message on stderr.

Notes

homeof is one of the few exiting programs (as opposed to exec'ing ones) packaged in the execline distribution.
