Get Unix Groups

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.
