NAME

       checkgid - checks the gid

SYNOPSIS

       checkgid group

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the checkgid command.

       checkgid is a program that checks whether it can setgid to the group specified. This is to
       see if it is a valid group for apache2 to use at runtime.  If the user (should be  run  as
       superuser) is in that group, or can setgid to it, it will return 0.
