groupinfo
—
displays group information
The groupinfo
utility retrieves the group information
from the system. The groupinfo
utility is only
available if built with EXTENSIONS
. See
group(8) for more information.
The following command line options are recognised:
-e
- Return 0 if the group exists, and non-zero if the group does not exist, on
the system. No information is displayed. This form of the command is
useful for scripts which need to check whether a particular group name or
gid is already in use on the system.
-v
- Perform any actions in a verbose manner.
The group argument may either be a group's
name, or a gid.
The groupinfo
utility exits 0 on success,
and >0 if an error occurs.
The groupinfo
utility first appeared in
NetBSD 1.5. It is based on the
addnerd package by the same author.
The groupinfo
utility was written by
Alistair G. Crooks ⟨agc@NetBSD.org⟩.
