PROLOG
       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);
