GETGRENT(3)                Linux Programmer’s Manual               GETGRENT(3)



NAME
       getgrent, setgrent, endgrent - get group file entry

SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/types.h>
       #include <grp.h>

       struct group *getgrent(void);

       void setgrent(void);

       void endgrent(void);

DESCRIPTION
       The  getgrent()  function  returns  a  pointer  to a structure containing the group
       information from /etc/group.  The first time it is  called  it  returns  the  first
       entry; thereafter, it returns successive entries.

       The setgrent() function rewinds the file pointer to the beginning of the /etc/group
       file.

       The endgrent() function closes the /etc/group file.

       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 */
              };

RETURN VALUE
       The getgrent() function returns the group information structure, or NULL  if  there
       are no more entries or an error occurs.

       Upon error, errno may be set. If you want to check its value, set it to zero before
       the call.

ERRORS
       EINTR  A signal was caught.

       EIO    I/O error.

       EMFILE The calling process already has too many open files.

       ENFILE Too many open files in the system.

       ENOMEM Insufficient memory to allocate group information structure.

FILES
       /etc/group
               group database file
