    NAME

    getgrnam, getgrnam_r, getgrgid, getgrgid_r - get group file entry
     
    

    SYNOPSIS

    #include <sys/types.h>
    #include <grp.h>
    
    struct group *getgrnam(const char *name);
    
    struct group *getgrgid(gid_t gid);
    
    int getgrnam_r(const char *name, struct group *grp,
    
    char *buf, size_t buflen, struct group **result); int getgrgid_r(gid_t gid, struct group *grp,
    char *buf, size_t buflen, struct group **result);

    Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

    getgrnam_r(), getgrgid_r(): _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 1 || _XOPEN_SOURCE || _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _POSIX_SOURCE  

    DESCRIPTION

    The getgrnam() function returns a pointer to a structure containing the broken-out fields of the record in the group database (e.g., the local group file /etc/group, NIS, and LDAP) that matches the group name name.

    The getgrgid() function returns a pointer to a structure containing the broken-out fields of the record in the group database that matches the group ID gid.

    The getgrnam_r() and getgrgid_r() functions obtain the same information, but store the retrieved group structure in the space pointed to by grp. This group structure contains pointers to strings, and these strings are stored in the buffer buf of size buflen. A pointer to the result (in case of success) or NULL (in case no entry was found or an error occurred) is stored in *result.

    The group structure is defined in <grp.h> as follows:

    struct group {
        char   *gr_name;       /* group name */
        char   *gr_passwd;     /* group password */
        gid_t   gr_gid;        /* group ID */
        char  **gr_mem;        /* group members */
    };
    

    The maximum needed size for buf can be found using sysconf(3) with the argument _SC_GETGR_R_SIZE_MAX.  

    RETURN VALUE

    The getgrnam() and getgrgid() functions return a pointer to a group structure, or NULL if the matching entry is not found or an error occurs. If an error occurs, errno is set appropriately. If one wants to check errno after the call, it should be set to zero before the call.

    The return value may point to static area, and may be overwritten by subsequent calls to getgrent(3), getgrgid(), or getgrnam().

    On success, getgrnam_r() and getgrgid_r() return zero, and set *result to grp. If no matching group record was found, these functions return 0 and store NULL in *result. In case of error, an error number is returned, and NULL is stored in *result.  

    ERRORS

    0 or ENOENT or ESRCH or EBADF or EPERM or ...
    The given name or gid was not found.
    EINTR
    A signal was caught.
    EIO
    I/O error.
    EMFILE
    The maximum number (OPEN_MAX) of files was open already in the calling process.
    ENFILE
    The maximum number of files was open already in the system.
    ENOMEM
    Insufficient memory to allocate group structure.
    ERANGE
    Insufficient buffer space supplied.
     

    FILES

    /etc/group
    local group database file
     

    CONFORMING TO

    SVr4, 4.3BSD, POSIX.1-2001.  

    NOTES

    The formulation given above under "RETURN VALUE" is from POSIX.1-2001. It does not call "not found" an error, hence does not specify what value errno might have in this situation. But that makes it impossible to recognize errors. One might argue that according to POSIX errno should be left unchanged if an entry is not found. Experiments on various Unix-like systems shows that lots of different values occur in this situation: 0, ENOENT, EBADF, ESRCH, EWOULDBLOCK, EPERM and probably others.
