NAME

       members - outputs members of a group

SYNOPSIS

       members groupname

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the members commands.  This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution.

       members is a program that sends a space-separated list of secondary member names to its standard output.

OPTIONS

       The  programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-').  A summary of options is included
       below.

       -a, --all
	      Show all group members on one line. This is the default.

       -p, --primary
	      Show only primary group members.

       -s, --secondary
	      Show only secondary group members.

       -t, --two-lines
	      Send two lines to standard output. First line is primary members, second line is secondary members. NOTE: This always  displays  two
	      lines, even if there are no members at all.

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options.

DIAGNOSTICS

       Exit status is 0 (i.e. "success") if the group was found, and 1 (i.e., "failure") if the group was not found.

       Technically,  the  exit status hinges on the output of getgrnam(3) as follows: if getgrnam(3) returns a null pointer, the exit status is 1,
       and 0 otherwise.

BUGS

       I don't know of any! If you find one, please let me know!
