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%
