NAME
groups - print group membership of user
SYNOPSIS
groups [user...]
DESCRIPTION
The command groups prints on standard output the groups to which you or the optionally specified user belong. Each user belongs to a group
specified in /etc/passwd and possibly to other groups as specified in /etc/group. Note that /etc/passwd specifies the numerical ID (gid)
of the group. The groups command converts gid to the group name in the output.
EXAMPLES
The output takes the following form:
example% groups tester01 tester02
tester01 : staff
tester02 : staff
example%
FILES
/etc/passwd
/etc/group
