I was looking through some code and came across a "require 'etc'" line. Of course, googling for things like "ruby etc gem" has been fruitless. I haven't found any documentation for it (yet) so I thought I'd ask here.

A:
Since you know it's a gem, you should search from http://rubygems.org/, which immediately leads to http://rubygems.org/gems/etc.
The source code shows it's a parser of /etc/passwd and /etc/group.
