       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

       grp.h — group structure

SYNOPSIS

       #include <grp.h>

DESCRIPTION

       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);
