NAME

       members - outputs members of a group

SYNOPSIS

       members groupname

DESCRIPTION

       This  manual  page  documents  briefly the members commands.  This manual page was written for the Debian
       GNU/Linux distribution.

       members is a program that sends a space-separated list of secondary member names to its standard output.

OPTIONS

       The programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes  (`-').
       A summary of options is included below.

       -a, --all
              Show all group members on one line. This is the default.

       -p, --primary
              Show only primary group members.

       -s, --secondary
              Show only secondary group members.

       -t, --two-lines
              Send  two  lines  to  standard  output.  First  line  is primary members, second line is secondary
              members. NOTE: This always displays two lines, even if there are no members at all.

       -h, --help
              Show summary of options.

DIAGNOSTICS

       Exit status is 0 (i.e. "success") if the group was found, and 1 (i.e., "failure") if the  group  was  not
       found.

       Technically,  the  exit  status  hinges on the output of getgrnam(3) as follows: if getgrnam(3) returns a
       null pointer, the exit status is 1, and 0 otherwise.

BUGS

       I don't know of any! If you find one, please let me know!
