NAME
groupinfo – display group information
SYNOPSIS
groupinfo [-e] group
DESCRIPTION
The groupinfo utility displays the name, group ID (GID), and members of the specified group.
The options are as follows:
- -e
-
Do not display anything (quiet mode). This form of the command is useful for scripts which need to check whether a particular group name or GID is already in use on the system.
The group argument may be either a group name or a GID.
EXIT STATUS
The groupinfo utility exits 0 if group exists, and non-zero if it does not.

CAVEATS
If the specified group is the primary group of a user, but that user is not listed as a member of the group in the group(5) file, the groupinfo utility fails to list that user as a member of the group.
