auths([user], callback(err, privileges))
user
is optional, and will default to the current running user.
The callback will contain an array of privileges assuming there were no errors.
If there were errors, the first argument will be an Error
object, with the
message set to stderr of auths(1), and Error.code
set to the return code.
npm install auths
