If you wish your code to work with other usernames/uids other than the current user's:
perl -e 'print "".(getpwuid($<))[0]." ".(getpwuid($<))[7]."\n";'
You can also use getpwnam() if you wish to use a username instead of a UID.
$< is the real UID of the current process, but you could change it according to what you need ... (getpwuid(YOUR_UID))[0]

DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the fprintd command-line utilities.
The fprintd daemon is accessed through D-Bus by those command-line utilities.
ARGUMENTS

For fprintd-enroll, the finger to enroll. Possible values are:
left-thumb, left-index-finger, left-middle-finger, left-ring-finger, left-little-finger, right-thumb, right-index-finger, right-
middle-finger, right-ring-finger, right-little-finger.
The default is automatic, selecting the first available finger for swipe devices, or all the enrolled fingers, for press devices.
TEST APPLICATIONS
fprintd-enroll
Will enroll the user's right index finger into the database.
fprintd-list
Will list the user's enrolled fingerprints.
fprintd-verify
Will enroll the user's right index finger into the database.
fprintd-enroll
