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!
