14

SYNOPSIS

16       #include <grp.h>
17

DESCRIPTION

19       The <grp.h> header shall  declare  the  group  structure,  which  shall
20       include the following members:
21
22           char   *gr_name The name of the group.
23           gid_t   gr_gid  Numerical group ID.
24           char  **gr_mem  Pointer to a null-terminated array of character
25                           pointers to member names.
26
27       The <grp.h> header shall define the gid_t and size_t types as described
28       in <sys/types.h>.
29
30       The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as
31       macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.
32
33           void           endgrent(void);
34           struct group  *getgrent(void);
35           struct group  *getgrgid(gid_t);
36           int            getgrgid_r(gid_t, struct group *, char *,
37                              size_t, struct group **);
38           struct group  *getgrnam(const char *);
39           int            getgrnam_r(const char *, struct group *, char *,
40                              size_t , struct group **);
41           void           setgrent(void);
