.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In unistd.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn getgrouplist "const char *name" "gid_t basegid" "gid_t *groups" "int *ngroups"

.Fn getgroupmembership "const char *name" "gid_t basegid" "gid_t *groups" "int maxgrp" "int *ngroups"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getgrouplist
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn getgroupmembership
|
|
functions read through the group database and calculate
|
|
the group access list for the user specified in
|
|
.Fa name .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa basegid
|
|
is automatically included in the groups list.
|
|
Typically this value is given as
|
|
the group number from the password database.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The resulting group list is returned in the integer array pointed to by
|
|
.Fa groups .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For
|
|
.Fn getgrouplist ,
|
|
the caller specifies the size of the
|
|
.Fa groups
|
|
array in the integer pointed to by
|
|
.Fa ngroups .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For
|
|
.Fn getgroupmembership ,
|
|
the caller specifies the size of the
|
|
.Fa groups
|
|
array in
|
|
.Fa maxgrp .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The actual number of groups found is returned in
|
|
.Fa ngroups .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Duplicate group ids will be suppressed from the result.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getgrouplist
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn getgroupmembership
|
|
functions
|
|
return 0 if successful, and
|
|
return \-1 if the size of the group list is too small to
|
|
hold all the user's groups.
|
|
In the latter case, the
|
|
.Fa groups
|
|
array will be filled with as many groups as will fit and
|
|
.Fa ngroups
|
|
will contain the total number of groups found.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getgrouplist
|
|
function first appeared in
|
|
.Bx 4.4 .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getgroupmembership
|
|
function first appeared in
|
|
.Nx 3.0
|
|
to address an API deficiency in
|
|
.Fn getgrouplist .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getgrouplist
|
|
function
|
|
uses the routines based on
|
|
.Xr getgrent 3 .
|
|
If the invoking program uses any of these routines,
|
|
the group structure will
|
|
be overwritten in the call to
|
|
.Fn getgrouplist .
