GROUPS(1)               FreeBSD General Commands Manual              GROUPS(1)

NAME

     groups - show group memberships

SYNOPSIS

     groups [user]

DESCRIPTION

     The groups utility has been obsoleted by the id(1) utility, and is
     equivalent to "id -Gn [user]".  The command "id -p" is suggested for
     normal interactive use.

     The groups utility displays the groups to which you (or the optionally
     specified user) belong.

EXIT STATUS

     The groups utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

EXAMPLES

     Show groups the root user belongs to:

           $ groups root
           wheel operator
