-.SH DESCRIPTION
-The
-.BR 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
-.IR /etc/group ,
-NIS, and LDAP)
-that matches the group name
-.IR name .
-.PP
-The
-.BR 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
-.IR gid .
-.PP
-The \fIgroup\fP structure is defined in \fI<grp.h>\fP as follows:
-.PP
-.in +4n
-.EX
-struct group {
- char *gr_name; /* group name */
- char *gr_passwd; /* group password */
- gid_t gr_gid; /* group ID */
- char **gr_mem; /* NULL\-terminated array of pointers
- to names of group members */
-};
-.EE
-.in
-.PP
-For more information about the fields of this structure, see
-.BR group (5).
-.PP
-The
-.BR getgrnam_r ()
-and
-.BR getgrgid_r ()
-functions obtain the same information as
-.BR getgrnam ()
-and
-.BR getgrgid (),
-but store the retrieved
-.I group
-structure
-in the space pointed to by
-.IR grp .
-The string fields pointed to by the members of the
-.I group
-structure are stored in the buffer
-.I buf
-of size
-.IR 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
-.IR *result .
-.PP
-The call
-.PP
-.in +4n
-.EX
-sysconf(_SC_GETGR_R_SIZE_MAX)
-.EE
-.in
-.PP
-returns either \-1, without changing
-.IR errno ,
-or an initial suggested size for
-.IR buf .
-(If this size is too small,
-the call fails with
-.BR ERANGE ,
-in which case the caller can retry with a larger buffer.)
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-The
-.BR getgrnam ()
-and
-.BR getgrgid ()
-functions return a pointer to a
-.I group
-structure, or NULL if the matching entry
-is not found or an error occurs.
-If an error occurs,
-.I errno
-is set to indicate the error.
-If one wants to check
-.I errno
-after the call, it should be set to zero before the call.
-.PP
-The return value may point to a static area, and may be overwritten
-by subsequent calls to
-.BR getgrent (3),
-.BR getgrgid (),
-or
-.BR getgrnam ().
-(Do not pass the returned pointer to
-.BR free (3).)
-.PP
-On success,
-.BR getgrnam_r ()
-and
-.BR getgrgid_r ()
-return zero, and set
-.I *result
-to
-.IR grp .
-If no matching group record was found,
-these functions return 0 and store NULL in
-.IR *result .
-In case of error, an error number is returned, and NULL is stored in
-.IR *result .
-.SH ERRORS
-.TP
-.BR 0 " or " ENOENT " or " ESRCH " or " EBADF " or " EPERM " or ..."
-The given
-.I name
-or
-.I gid
-was not found.
-.TP
-.B EINTR
-A signal was caught; see
-.BR signal (7).
-.TP
-.B EIO
-I/O error.
-.TP
-.B EMFILE
-The per-process limit on the number of open file descriptors has been reached.
-.TP
-.B ENFILE
-The system-wide limit on the total number of open files has been reached.
-.TP
-.B ENOMEM
-.\" not in POSIX
-Insufficient memory to allocate
-.I group
-structure.
-.\" to allocate the group structure, or to allocate buffers
-.TP
-.B ERANGE
-Insufficient buffer space supplied.

-.SH STANDARDS
-POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008, SVr4, 4.3BSD.
-.SH NOTES
-The formulation given above under "RETURN VALUE" is from POSIX.1.
-.\" POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008
-It does not call "not found" an error, hence does not specify what value
-.I errno
-might have in this situation.
-But that makes it impossible to recognize
-errors.
-One might argue that according to POSIX
-.I errno
-should be left unchanged if an entry is not found.
-Experiments on various
-UNIX-like systems show that lots of different values occur in this
-situation: 0, ENOENT, EBADF, ESRCH, EWOULDBLOCK, EPERM, and probably others.
-.\" more precisely:
-.\" AIX 5.1 - gives ESRCH
-.\" OSF1 4.0g - gives EWOULDBLOCK
-.\" libc, glibc up to version 2.6, Irix 6.5 - give ENOENT
-.\" glibc since version 2.7 - give 0
-.\" FreeBSD 4.8, OpenBSD 3.2, NetBSD 1.6 - give EPERM
-.\" SunOS 5.8 - gives EBADF
-.\" Tru64 5.1b, HP-UX-11i, SunOS 5.7 - give 0
