id(1)id(1)NAMEid - print user and group IDs and names
SYNOPSIS
[user]
[user]
[user]
DESCRIPTION
The command writes a message to standard output, giving the user and
group IDs and names for the process. If the effective and real IDs are
different, both are printed.
If the process has supplementary group affiliations (see groups(1)),
the supplementary group affiliations are also written.
If the user operand is specified and the process has appropriate privi‐
leges, the user and group IDs of the selected user are written. In
this case, effective IDs are assumed to be identical to real IDs. If
the selected user has more than one allowable group membership listed
in the group database, then the group membership information is writ‐
ten.
Options
The following options modify the behavior described above.
Display only the group ID.
The default is the effective group ID; to modify, use the
option. If the process has supplementary group affilia‐
tions that are different from the effective group ID (or
the real ID if the option is used), display each such
affiliation on the same line. The default is decimal
format; to modify, use the option.
Output all different group IDs (effective, real, and supplemen‐
tary)
only, using the format "%u\n". If there is more than one
distinct group affiliation, output each such affiliation,
using the format " %u", before the <newline> is output.
