groupinfo - displays group information
groupinfo [-ev] group
The groupinfo utility retrieves the group information from
the system.
The following command line options are recognised:
-e return 0 if the group exists, and non-zero if the
group does not
exist, on the system. No information is displayed.
This form of
the command is useful for scripts which need to
check whether a
particular group name or GID is already in use on
the system.
-v perform any actions in a verbose manner.
The group argument may either be a group's name, or a GID.
The groupinfo utility exits 0 if the group name or GID exists, and nonzero
if it does not.
