octave: Group Database Functions

 
 36.10 Group Database Functions
 ==============================
 
 Octave’s group database functions return information in a structure with
 the following fields.
 
 ‘name’
      The user name.
 
 ‘passwd’
      The encrypted password, if available.
 
 ‘gid’
      The numeric group id.
 
 ‘mem’
      The members of the group.
 
    In the descriptions of the following functions, this data structure
 is referred to as a GRP_STRUCT.
 
  -- : GRP_STRUCT = getgrent ()
      Return an entry from the group database, opening it if necessary.
 
      Once the end of data has been reached, ‘getgrent’ returns 0.
 
DONTPRINTYET       See also: setgrent XREFsetgrent, *noteendgrent:
DONTPRINTYET       See also: setgrent XREFsetgrent, endgrent

      XREFendgrent.
 
  -- : GRP_STRUCT = getgrgid (GID).
      Return the first entry from the group database with the group ID
      GID.
 
      If the group ID does not exist in the database, ‘getgrgid’ returns
      0.
 
      See also: getgrnam XREFgetgrnam.
 
  -- : GRP_STRUCT = getgrnam (NAME)
      Return the first entry from the group database with the group name
      NAME.
 
      If the group name does not exist in the database, ‘getgrnam’
      returns 0.
 
      See also: getgrgid XREFgetgrgid.
 
  -- : setgrent ()
      Return the internal pointer to the beginning of the group database.
 
DONTPRINTYET       See also: getgrent XREFgetgrent, *noteendgrent:
DONTPRINTYET       See also: getgrent XREFgetgrent, endgrent

      XREFendgrent.
 
  -- : endgrent ()
      Close the group database.
 
DONTPRINTYET       See also: getgrent XREFgetgrent, *notesetgrent:
