+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR getgrnam ()
+function returns a pointer to a structure containing
+the broken-out fields of the record in the group database
+(e.g., the local group file
+.IR /etc/group ,
+NIS, and LDAP)
+that matches the group name
+.IR name .
+.PP
+The
+.BR getgrgid ()
+function returns a pointer to a structure containing
+the broken-out fields of the record in the group database
+that matches the group ID
+.IR gid .
+.PP
+The \fIgroup\fP structure is defined in \fI<grp.h>\fP as follows:
+.PP
+.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 */
+};
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+For more information about the fields of this structure, see
+.BR group (5).
+.PP
+The
+.BR getgrnam_r ()
+and
+.BR getgrgid_r ()
+functions obtain the same information as
+.BR getgrnam ()
+and
+.BR getgrgid (),
+but store the retrieved
+.I group
+structure
+in the space pointed to by
+.IR grp .
+The string fields pointed to by the members of the
+.I group
+structure are stored in the buffer
+.I buf
+of size
+.IR buflen .
+A pointer to the result (in case of success) or NULL (in case no entry
+was found or an error occurred) is stored in
+.IR *result .
+.PP
+The call
+.PP
+.in +4n
+.EX
+sysconf(_SC_GETGR_R_SIZE_MAX)
+.EE
+.in
+.PP
+returns either \-1, without changing
+.IR errno ,
+or an initial suggested size for
+.IR buf .
+(If this size is too small,
+the call fails with
+.BR ERANGE ,
+in which case the caller can retry with a larger buffer.)
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The
+.BR getgrnam ()
+and
+.BR getgrgid ()
+functions return a pointer to a
+.I group
+structure, or NULL if the matching entry
+is not found or an error occurs.
+If an error occurs,
+.I errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+If one wants to check
+.I errno
+after the call, it should be set to zero before the call.
+.PP
+The return value may point to a static area, and may be overwritten
+by subsequent calls to
+.BR getgrent (3),
+.BR getgrgid (),
+or
+.BR getgrnam ().
+(Do not pass the returned pointer to
+.BR free (3).)
+.PP
+On success,
+.BR getgrnam_r ()
+and
+.BR getgrgid_r ()
+return zero, and set
+.I *result
+to
+.IR grp .
+If no matching group record was found,
+these functions return 0 and store NULL in
+.IR *result .
+In case of error, an error number is returned, and NULL is stored in
+.IR *result .
+.SH ERRORS
+.TP

+.SH VERSIONS
+The formulation given above under "RETURN VALUE" is from POSIX.1.
+.\" POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008
+It does not call "not found" an error, hence does not specify what value
+.I errno
+might have in this situation.
+But that makes it impossible to recognize
+errors.
+One might argue that according to POSIX
+.I errno
+should be left unchanged if an entry is not found.
+Experiments on various
+UNIX-like systems show that lots of different values occur in this
+situation: 0, ENOENT, EBADF, ESRCH, EWOULDBLOCK, EPERM, and probably others.
+.\" more precisely:
+.\" AIX 5.1 - gives ESRCH
+.\" OSF1 4.0g - gives EWOULDBLOCK
+.\" libc, glibc up to glibc 2.6, Irix 6.5 - give ENOENT
+.\" since glibc 2.7 - give 0
+.\" FreeBSD 4.8, OpenBSD 3.2, NetBSD 1.6 - give EPERM
+.\" SunOS 5.8 - gives EBADF
+.\" Tru64 5.1b, HP-UX-11i, SunOS 5.7 - give 0
