#include <grp.h>
The <grp.h> header shall declare the structure group which shall include the following members:
char *gr_name The name of the group. gid_t gr_gid Numerical group ID. char **gr_mem Pointer to a null-terminated array of character pointers to member names.The gid_t type shall be defined as described in <sys/types.h>.
The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.
struct group *getgrgid(gid_t); struct group *getgrnam(const char *); [TSF] int getgrgid_r(gid_t, struct group *, char *, size_t, struct group **); int getgrnam_r(const char *, struct group *, char *, size_t , struct group **); [XSI] struct group *getgrent(void); void endgrent(void); void setgrent(void);

The DESCRIPTION is updated for alignment with the POSIX Threads Extension.
The following new requirements on POSIX implementations derive from alignment with the Single UNIX Specification:
The definition of gid_t is mandated.
The getgrgid_r() and getgrnam_r() functions are marked as part of the Thread-Safe Functions option.
