13 The command groups prints on standard output the groups to which you or
14 the optionally specified user belong. Each user belongs to a group
15 specified in /etc/passwd and possibly to other groups as specified in
16 /etc/group. Note that /etc/passwd specifies the numerical ID (gid) of
17 the group. The groups command converts gid to the group name in the
18 output.
