NAME
       getgroups - get group access list

SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
       gets the current group access list of the user process and stores it in
       the array gidset.   The	parameter  ngroups  indicates  the  number  of
       entries which may be placed in gidset.

       As  a special case, if the ngroups argument is zero, returns the number
       of group entries for the process.  In this case, the array  pointed  to
       by the gidset argument is not modified.

EXAMPLES
       The  following  call  to	 (see getgroups(2)) retrieves the group access
       list of the calling process and stores the group ids in array mygidset:

RETURN VALUE
       If successful, returns a non-negative value indicating  the  number  of
       elements	 returned  in  gidset.	 If  an error occurs, a value of −1 is
       returned and is set to indicate the type of error.

ERRORS
       fails if any of the following conditions are encountered:

       gidset	      specifies an invalid address.  The reliable detection of
		      this error is implementation dependent.

       The argument   ngroups  is  not	zero  and  is  less than the number of
		      groups in the current group access list of the process.

AUTHOR
       was developed by HP and the University of California, Berkeley.
