This line within dirUnix() (L87) fails in macOS, as it assumes getent is installed, which is not the case for macOS, as this is a Unix/Linux-only utility.
cmd := exec.Command("getent", "passwd", strconv.Itoa(os.Getuid()))This is the error that's returned
"getent": executable file not found in $PATH
Suggest detecting whether the user is on a Mac and use a Mac name resolving binary like dscacheutil or dns-sd.

Sounds like a good idea. At the least, we should verify getent exists before even attempting the all probably.
