NAME
       id - print user and group IDs and names

SYNOPSIS
       [user]

       [user]

       [user]

DESCRIPTION
       The  command  writes  a message to standard output, giving the user and group IDs and names for the process.  If the effective and real IDs
       are different, both are printed.

       If the process has supplementary group affiliations (see groups(1)), the supplementary group affiliations are also written.

       If the user operand is specified and the process has appropriate privileges, the user and group IDs of the selected user are  written.	In
       this case, effective IDs are assumed to be identical to real IDs.  If the selected user has more than one allowable group membership listed
       in the group database, then the group membership information is written.

   Options
       The following options modify the behavior described above.

	      Display only the group ID.
		     The default is the effective group ID; to modify, use the option.	If the process has supplementary group	affiliations  that
		     are  different  from the effective group ID (or the real ID if the option is used), display each such affiliation on the same
		     line.  The default is decimal format; to modify, use the option.

	      Output all different group IDs (effective, real, and supplementary)
		     only, using the format "%u
". If there is more than one distinct group affiliation, output each such affiliation, using  the
		     format "  %u", before the <newline> is output.

	      With   A or display the ID name instead of the ID number.

	      With   or display the real ID instead of the effective ID.

	      Display only the user ID.
		     The default is the effective user ID; to modify, use the option.  The default is decimal format; to modify, use the option.

		     the  process along with the user and group IDs and names.	The option ignores user argument.  See HP Process Resource Manager
