| Hello,
I am wondering what is the system call to get all the groups a user
belongs to. I need both the group ids and the group names. I need to
make this call from a c++ module.
Thanks,
Kushal

getgroups() followed by getgrgid() for each of these.
At least on Solaris (you didn't specify the platform).
And please learn to crosspost instead of multipost.
And have a nice day.
