Description
This manual page documents briefly the members commands. This manual page was written for the Debian
GNU/Linux distribution.
members is a program that sends a space-separated list of secondary member names to its standard output.
Diagnostics
Exit status is 0 (i.e. "success") if the group was found, and 1 (i.e., "failure") if the group was not
found.
Technically, the exit status hinges on the output of getgrnam(3) as follows: if getgrnam(3) returns a
null pointer, the exit status is 1, and 0 otherwise.
