GETGRENT(3) GETGRENT(3) NAME getgrent, getgrgid, getgrnam, setgrent, endgrent - get group file entry SYNOPSIS #include <grp.h> struct group *getgrent() struct group *getgrgid(gid) int gid; struct group *getgrnam(name) char *name; setgrent() endgrent() DESCRIPTION Getgrent, getgrgid and getgrnam each return pointers to an object with the following structure containing the broken-out fields of a line in the group file. /* Copyright (C) 1991,1992,1995-2001,2003,2004 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Getgrent simply reads the next line while getgrgid and getgrnam search until a matching gid or name is found (or until EOF is encountered). Each routine picks up where the others leave off so successive calls may be used to search the entire file. A call to setgrent has the effect of rewinding the group file to allow repeated searches. Endgrent may be called to close the group file when processing is complete. FILES /etc/group SEE ALSO getlogin(3), getpwent(3), group(5) DIAGNOSTICS A null pointer (0) is returned on EOF or error. BUGS All information is contained in a static area so it must be copied if it is to be saved. 7th Edition May 15, 1985 GETGRENT(3)
