PROLOG         top

       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The
       Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
       or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME         top

       grp.h — group structure

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <grp.h>

DESCRIPTION         top

       The <grp.h> header shall declare the group structure, 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 <grp.h> header shall define the gid_t and size_t types 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.

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