FEATURE REQUEST [when HOME unset] the cd ~ should still work like in bash

[ProjektPhoenix]

read HOME dir through

/usr/bin/getent passwd $UID | cut -d: -f6

the UID could be obtained through sig info or even easier: /usr/bin/id call to execve gives UID as first entry

The equivalent in macOS

dscl . -read /Users/$(whoami) NFSHomeDirectory | awk '{print $2}'

(from copilot) The dscl (Directory Service command line) utility on macOS is used to interact with Directory Services. Directory Services is a system service in macOS that stores and manages information about users, groups, and other resources on the system. This includes user account details, such as user IDs, home directories, and group memberships.

The dscl command can query, create, and modify entries in the Directory Services database. It's commonly used for tasks such as:

• Listing user accounts and their attributes.
• Creating or deleting user accounts.
• Modifying user account properties, such as the home directory or shell.
• Managing group memberships.

A typical use of dscl to query the current user's home directory is as follows:

dscl . -read /Users/$(whoami) NFSHomeDirectory

I think it mostly works.
