.SH NAME
checkgid \- checks the gid 
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B checkgid group 
.SH DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the
.B checkgid 
command.
.PP
.\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB<whatever>\fP and
.\" \fI<whatever>\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics, 
.\" respectively.
\fBcheckgid\fP is a program that checks whether it can setgid to the group
specified. This is to see if it is a valid group for apache2 to use at runtime.
If the user (should be run as superuser) is in that group, or can setgid to it,
it will return 0.
