+the group information from the file referred to by
+.IR stream .
+The first time it is called

+The file referred to by
+.I stream
+must have the same format as
+.I /etc/group
+(see
+.BR group (5)).
+.P
+The \fIgroup\fP structure is defined in \fI<grp.h>\fP as follows:
+.P
+.in +4n
+.EX
+struct group {
+ char *gr_name; /* group name */
+ char *gr_passwd; /* group password */
+ gid_t gr_gid; /* group ID */
+ char **gr_mem; /* NULL\-terminated array of pointers
+ to names of group members */
+};

+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The

+or NULL if there are no more entries or an error occurs.
+In the event of an error,
+.I errno
+is set to indicate the error.
