  22.      To use the BSD version of _g_e_t_g_r_o_u_p_s one must either
  23.  
  24.      1) explicitly invoke it as _B_S_D_g_e_t_g_r_o_u_p_s or
  25.  
  26.      2) link with the libbsd.a library:

  32.      _g_e_t_g_r_o_u_p_s retrieves the current group access list of the user process and
  33.      stores it in the array _g_i_d_s_e_t.  The parameter _s_e_t_l_e_n indicates the number
  34.      of entries that may be placed in _g_i_d_s_e_t.  The return value is the actual
  35.      number of groups placed in _g_i_d_s_e_t, and this will never be greater than
  36.      NNNNGGGGRRRROOOOUUUUPPPPSSSS____UUUUMMMMAAAAXXXX for the POSIX version, and NNNNGGGGRRRROOOOUUUUPPPPSSSS for the BSD version, as
  37.      defined in <_s_y_s/_p_a_r_a_m._h>.
  38.  
  39.      As a special case, if the _s_e_t_l_e_n parameter is zero, _g_e_t_g_r_o_u_p_s returns the
  40.      number of supplemental group IDs associated with the calling process
  41.      without modifying the array pointed to by the _g_i_d_s_e_t argument.
  42.  
  43. RRRREEEETTTTUUUURRRRNNNN VVVVAAAALLLLUUUUEEEE
  44.      A successful call returns the number of groups in the group set.  A value
  45.      of -1 indicates that an error occurred, and the error code is stored in
  46.      the global variable _e_r_r_n_o.
  47.  
  48. EEEERRRRRRRROOOORRRRSSSS
  49.      The possible errors for _g_e_t_g_r_o_u_p_s are:
  50.  
  51.      [EINVAL]       The argument _s_e_t_l_e_n is smaller than the number of groups
  52.                     in the group set.
  53.  
  54.      [EFAULT]       The argument _g_i_d_s_e_t specifies an invalid address.
