groupls --
list attributes of a group
Synopsis
/usr/sbin/groupls
-g group1,group2,...
[-ado]
[-x extendedOptionString]
[-X extendedOptionFile]
Description
Without arguments, the groupls command generates a list
of groups the user belongs to. The user syntax also allows a
list of usernames to be specified.
Options
The following options are supported:
- -a
-
Outputs all attributes associated with the specified group accounts
to standard output in extended option syntax (parsable from a
datafile using the -X option).
- -d
-
Displays groups accounts with duplicate IDs.
- -g group_name
-
Reports all attributes associated with group group_name.
- -o
-
Causes displayed information to be delimited with colons (:).
- -x extendedOptionString
-
Lists extended group account attributes.
Most attributes are group
parameters that can be changed; the groupls command can
only be used to query them.
See
groupadd(1M)
for a list of group account attributes.
- -X optionsFile
-
Specify the file from which the group attributes are to be taken.
If group is preceded by a ``+'', (for example, ``+student''), the group
definition is administered by the Network Information Service (NIS). In this
case, the value for group ID will be taken from the NIS database.
Files
