NAME
members - outputs members of a group
SYNOPSIS
members groupname
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the members commands. This manual
page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution.
members is a program that sends a space-separated list of secondary
member names to its standard output.
OPTIONS
The programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long
options starting with two dashes (‘-’). A summary of options is
included below.
-a, --all
Show all group members on one line. This is the default.
-p, --primary
Show only primary group members.
-s, --secondary
Show only secondary group members.
-t, --two-lines
Send two lines to standard output. First line is primary
members, second line is secondary members. NOTE: This always
displays two lines, even if there are no members at all.
-h, --help
Show summary of options.
DIAGNOSTICS
Exit status is 0 (i.e. "success") if the group was found, and 1 (i.e.,
"failure") if the group was not found.
Technically, the exit status hinges on the output of getgrnam(3) as
follows: if getgrnam(3) returns a null pointer, the exit status is 1,
and 0 otherwise.
BUGS
I don’t know of any! If you find one, please let me know!
