NAME
       groups - Displays your group membership

SYNOPSIS
       groups [user]

DESCRIPTION
       The groups command writes to standard output the groups to which you or
       the specified user belong.  The Tru64 UNIX operating  system  allows  a
       user to belong to many different groups at the same time.

       Your  primary  group is specified in the /etc/passwd file. Once you are
       logged in, you can change your active group with the newgrp shell  com‐
       mand  (see  sh).	 When  you create a file, its group ID is that of your
       active group.

       Other groups that you belong to are specified in the  /etc/group	 file.
       If you belong to more than one group, you can access files belonging to
       any of those groups without changing your primary group ID.  These  are
       called your concurrent groups.

NOTES
       The /etc/passwd and /etc/group files must be on the same node.

EXAMPLES
       To determine your group membership, enter: groups

       The  groups  to which you belong will be displayed.  For example: devel
       prod
