<h2>getgrnam_r()--Get Group Information Using Group Name</h2>
<div class="box" style="width: 80%;">
<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;Syntax<br>
<pre>
#include &lt;sys/types.h&gt;
#include &lt;grp.h&gt;
int getgrnam_r(const char <em>*name</em>, struct group <em>*grp</em>,
char <em>*buffer</em>, size_t <em>bufsize</em>, struct group
<em>**result</em>);

&nbsp;&nbsp;Threadsafe: Yes<br>
<!-- iddvc RMBR -->
<br>
</div>
<p>The <strong>getgrnam_r()</strong> function updates the group structure
pointed to by <em>grp</em> and stores a pointer to that structure in the
location pointed to by <em>result</em>. The structure contains an entry from
the user database with matching <em>name</em>.</p>
<br>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong><em>name</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) A pointer to a group profile name.<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong><em>grp</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) A pointer to a group structure.<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong><em>buffer</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) A pointer to a buffer from which memory is allocated to hold
storage areas referenced by the group structure <em>grp</em>.<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong><em>bufsize</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) The size of <em>buffer</em> in bytes.<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong><em>result</em></strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) A pointer to a location in which a pointer to the updated group
structure is stored. If an error occurs or the requested entry cannot be found,
a NULL pointer is stored in this location.</dd>
</dl>
<p>The <samp>struct group</samp>, which is defined in the <strong>
grp.h</strong> header file, has the following elements:<br>
</p>
<table border cellpadding="5">
<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>
</tr>

<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>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
<h3>Authorities</h3>
<p>*READ authority is required to the user profile associated with the <em>
name</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>0</em></dt>
<dd><strong>getgrnam_r</strong> was successful.</dd>
<dt><em>Any other value</em></dt>
<dd>Failure: The return value contains an error number indicating the
error.</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Error Conditions</h3>
<p>If <strong>getgrnam_r()</strong> is not successful, the return value usually
indicates one of the following errors. Under some conditions, the value 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 group GROUP1. The
gid is 91. There are two group members, CLIFF and PATRICK.</p>
<pre>
#include &lt;sys/types.h&gt;
#include &lt;grp.h&gt;
#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
#include &lt;errno.h&gt;
main()
{ short int lp;
struct group grp;
struct group * grpptr=&amp;grp;
struct group * tempGrpPtr;
char grpbuffer[200];
int grplinelen = sizeof(grpbuffer);
if ((getgrnam_r("GROUP1",grpptr,grpbuffer,grplinelen,&amp;tempGrpPtr))!=0)
perror("getgrnam_r() error.");
else
{
printf("\nThe group name is: %s\n", grp.gr_name);
printf("The gid is: %u\n", grp.gr_gid);
for (lp = 1; NULL != *(grp.gr_mem); lp++, (grp.gr_mem)++)
printf("Group Member %d is: %s\n", lp, *(grp.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
