Synopsis
getgrgid gid
Description
Retrieves a group file (/etc/group) entry by group number gid. The return value in list context is:
($name, $passwd, $gid, $members)
where
$members
contains a space-separated list of the login names of the members of the group.
If you want to do this repeatedly, consider caching the data in a hash
using getgrent
.
In scalar context, getgrgid
returns only the group name.
