getgrgid
getgrgid gid
Retrieves a group file
(/etc/group) entry by group number
gid. The return value in list context
is:
($name, $passwd, $gid, $members)
in which $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.
