<p>The <strong>getgrgid()</strong> function returns a pointer to an object of
type <samp>struct group</samp> containing an entry from the user database with
a matching <em>GID</em>.</p>
<br>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong><em>gid</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) Group ID.</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Authorities</h3>
<p>*READ authority is required to the user profile associated with the <em>
gid</em>. If the user does not have *READ authority, only the name of the group
and the group ID values are returned.</p>
<br>
<h3>Return Value</h3>
<dl compact>
<dt><em>struct group *</em></dt>
<dd><strong>getgrgid()</strong> was successful. The return value points to
static data of the format <samp>struct group</samp>, which is defined in the
<strong>grp.h</strong> header file. This storage is overwritten on each call to
this function. This static storage area is also used by the <strong>
getgrnam()</strong> function. The <samp>struct group</samp> has the following
elements:<br>
<br>
<table border cellpadding="5">
<!-- cols="10 10 80" -->
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top" width="10%">char *</td>
<td align="left" valign="top" width="10%">gr_name</td>
<td align="left" valign="top" width="80%">Name of the group</td>

<td align="left" valign="top" width="10%">gid_t</td>
<td align="left" valign="top" width="10%">gr_gid</td>
<td align="left" valign="top" width="80%">Group ID</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top" width="10%">char **</td>
<td align="left" valign="top" width="10%">gr_mem</td>
<td align="left" valign="top" width="80%">A null-terminated list of pointers to
the individual member profile names. If the group profile does not have any
members or if the caller does not have *READ authority to the group profile,
the list will be empty.</td>

</dd>
<dt><em>NULL pointer</em></dt>
<dd><strong>getgrgid</strong> was not successful. The <em>errno</em> global
variable is set to indicate the error.</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Error Conditions</h3>
<p>If <strong>getgrgid()</strong> is not successful, <em>errno</em> usually
indicates one of the following errors. Under some conditions, <em>errno</em>
could indicate an error other than those listed here.</p>

<h3>Example</h3>
<p>See <a href="../apiref/aboutapis.htm#codedisclaimer">Code disclaimer information</a>
for information pertaining to code examples.</p>
<p>The following example gets the group information for the gid of 91. The
group name is GROUP1. There are two group members, CLIFF and PATRICK.</p>
<pre>
#include &lt;grp.h&gt;
#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
main()
{
struct group *grp;
short int lp;
if (NULL == (grp = getgrgid(91)))
perror("getgrgid() error.");
else
{
printf("The group name is: %s\n", grp-&gt;gr_name);
printf("The gid is: %u\n", grp-&gt;gr_gid);
for (lp = 1; NULL != *(grp-&gt;gr_mem); lp++, (grp-&gt;gr_mem)++)
printf("Group member %d is: %s\n", lp, *(grp-&gt;gr_mem));
}
}
</pre>
<p><strong>Output:</strong></p>
<pre>
The group name is: GROUP1
The gid is: 91
Group member 1 is: CLIFF
Group member 2 is: PATRICK
