Executable map program for auto_home records synthesized from user records

Usage

/usr/libexec/od_user_homes [username]

Overview

od_user_homes is a program that takes a user name specified by username and, if there's a user record for that user in Open Directory, and that user record contains a HomeDirectory attribute, and the <path> portion of the HomeDirectory attribute is empty or just /, prints the URL from that attribute, and exits with an exit status of 0. If there is no user record for that user, or the user record doesn't contain a HomeDirectory attribute, or the <path> portion is neither empty nor just /, or if an error occurs, nothing is printed, and od_user_homes exits with a user status of 1. This is intended to be used as an executable map for auto_home.
