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
