NAME


       fgetgrent - get group file entry

 

SYNOPSIS


       #include 
       #include 
       #include 

       struct group *fgetgrent(FILE *stream);

 

DESCRIPTION






       The  fgetgrent()  function  returns a pointer to a structure containing
       the group information from the file  stream.   The  first  time  it  is
       called  it  returns  the first entry; thereafter, it returns successive
       entries.  The file stream must have the same format as /etc/group.

       The group structure is defined in  as follows:

              struct group {
                      char    *gr_name;        /* group name */
                      char    *gr_passwd;      /* group password */
                      gid_t   gr_gid;          /* group ID */
                      char    **gr_mem;        /* group members */
              };

 

RETURN VALUE


       The fgetgrent() function returns the group  information  structure,  or
       NULL if there are no more entries or an error occurs.

 

ERRORS
