NAME
       initgroups - initialize group access list

SYNOPSIS
       initgroups(name, basegid)
       char *name;
       int basegid;

DESCRIPTION
       Initgroups  reads  through  the	group  database and sets up, using the
       setgroups(2) call, the group access list	 for  the  user	 specified  in
       name.   The  basegid  is	 automatically	included  in  the groups list.
       Typically this value is given as the group  number  from	 the  password
       database.

FILES
       /etc/group - if NetInfo is not running

SEE ALSO
       setgroups(2), netinfo(5)

DIAGNOSTICS
       Initgroups returns -1 if it was not invoked by the super-user.

BUGS
       Initgroups  uses	 the  routines	based on getgrent(3).  If the invoking
       program uses any	 of  these  routines,  the  group  structure  will  be
       overwritten in the call to initgroups.
