NAME
groupinfo - displays group information
SYNOPSIS
groupinfo [-ev] group
DESCRIPTION
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 non- zero if it does not.
