How to get user information Mac?
How would I get user information from a Mac such as user domain, etc. through a Terminal command?
I've tried dscl as well as dscacheutil, but they don't really have what I'm looking for. I was wondering if there any other options out there for retrieving user information. If not, I'll make do with these two commands.

When you say "domain", what exactly are you referring to? An Active directory domain? LDAP? How is the system configured to be on the domain?

This can be accomplished by using ls -l /Users/
and will be returned something similar to:
drwxrwxrwt 5 root wheel 170 Feb 1 2012 Shared
drwxr-xr-x+ 12 DOMAINfinalcuteditor staff 408 Sep 7 2011
finalcuteditor
drwxr-xr-x+ 19 local-admin staff 646 Sep 18 20:50
local-admin
...where DOMAINuser will give you the information you are looking for.
Also, you may find value in this command: dscl . readall /users or for less verbose information you may find what you need using dscl . readall /users | grep username

That will provide you with the Domain, as you asked. It seems you are looking for other information as well. If so, let me know and I will post back. I am currently investigating this as well, why I found your post, and have a post here: apple.stackexchange.com/questions/83943/…
