Use this module to convert a username/groupname to a uid/gid number.
Usage:
```
npm install uid-number
```
Then, in your node program:
```javascript
var uidNumber = require("uid-number")
uidNumber("isaacs", function (er, uid, gid) {
// gid is null because we didn't ask for a group name
// uid === 24561 because that's my number.
})
```
