Will it be possible to list login names and full names or both?

Have you considered using the recently introduced ofmt* library interfaces
to allow for deciding whether it is login names or real names thare are 
printed?

Although this might require adding -P to have uname generate output in a
parseable format?

Will uid's and/or opensolaris id's be available, where known?
