9 ckgid [-Q] [-W width] [-m] [-d default] [-h help]
10 [-e error] [-p prompt] [-k pid [-s signal]]
11 /usr/sadm/bin/errgid [-W width] [-e error]

23 ckgid prompts a user and validates the response. It defines, among
24 other things, a prompt message whose response should be an existing
25 group ID, text for help and error messages, and a default value (which
26 will be returned if the user responds with a carriage return).
27 All messages are limited in length to 70 characters and are formatted
30 automatically. Any white space used in the definition (including new‐
31 line) is stripped. The -W option cancels the automatic formatting. When
32 a tilde is placed at the beginning or end of a message definition, the
33 default text will be inserted at that point, allowing both custom text
34 and the default text to be displayed.
35 If the prompt, help or error message is not defined, the default mes‐
38 sage (as defined under NOTES) will be displayed.
39 Three visual tool modules are linked to the ckgid command. They are
42 errgid (which formats and displays an error message), helpgid (which
43 formats and displays a help message), and valgid (which validates a
44 response). These modules should be used in conjunction with FML
45 objects. In this instance, the FML object defines the prompt.
46
48 The following options are supported:
49 -d default Defines the default value as default. The default is not
51 validated and so does not have to meet any criteria.
52 -e error Defines the error message as error.
55 -h help Defines the help messages as help.
58 -k pid Specifies that process ID pid is to be sent a signal if
61 the user chooses to abort.
62 -m Displays a list of all groups when help is requested or
65 when the user makes an error.
66 -p prompt Defines the prompt message as prompt.
69 -Q Specifies that quit will not be allowed as a valid
72 response.
73 -s signal Specifies that the process ID pid defined with the -k
76 option is to be sent signal signal when quit is chosen.
77 If no signal is specified, SIGTERM is used.
78 -W width Specifies that prompt, help and error messages will be
81 formatted to a line length of width.
82
85 The following operand is supported:
86 input Input to be verified against /etc/group.
88
91 The following exit values are returned:
92 0 Successful execution.
94 1 EOF on input, or negative width on -W option, or usage error.
97 3 User termination (quit).
