NAME

grp.h - group structure

 SYNOPSIS

#include <grp.h>

 DESCRIPTION

The <grp.h> header declares the structure group which includes 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 is defined as described in <sys/types.h>.

The following are declared as functions and may also be defined as macros. Function prototypes must be provided for use with an ISO C compiler.

struct group  *getgrgid(gid_t);
struct group  *getgrnam(const char *);
int            getgrgid_r(gid_t, struct group *, char *,
                   size_t, struct group **);
int            getgrnam_r(const char *, struct group *, char *,
                   size_t , struct group **);
struct group  *getgrent(void);
void           endgrent(void);
void           setgrent(void);
