GROUPINFO(8)            OpenBSD System Manager's Manual           GROUPINFO(8)

NAME
     groupinfo - display group information

SYNOPSIS
     groupinfo [-e] group

DESCRIPTION
     The groupinfo utility displays the name, group ID (GID), and members of
     the specified group.

     The options are as follows:

     -e      Do not display anything (quiet mode).  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.

     The group argument may be either a group name or a GID.

     The groupinfo utility exits 0 if group exists, and non-zero if it does
     not.

SEE ALSO
     group(5), passwd(5), group(8), userinfo(8)

HISTORY
     The groupinfo utility first appeared in OpenBSD 2.7.

AUTHORS
     The groupinfo utility was written by Alistair G. Crooks <agc@NetBSD.org>.

CAVEATS
     If the specified group is the primary group of a user, but that user is
     not listed as a member of the group in the group(5) file, the groupinfo
     utility fails to list that user as a member of the group.
