Casts

<user attribute> as string : string

Returns a list of user attributes. These can be inspected for value and key, but this inspector concatenates them so the cast yields a string of the form "key: value". These attributes are gathered from the LocalHost node of Apple's OpenDirectory system (much like ActiveDirectory). For more information, see the Apple developer site.
