NAME
       initgroups - initialize group access list

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

DESCRIPTION
       Initgroups  reads  through  the	group file and sets up, using the set‐
       groups(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 file.

FILES
       /etc/group

SEE ALSO
       setgroups(2)

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 over‐
       written in the call to initgroups.
